Actually we built the only empire in history that actually bettered its people. We promised the Philippines its freedom in 40 years in 1906 and gave it INDEPENDENCE on July 4 1946, in spite of the Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere. Puerto Rico is the Caribbean island with the highest per-capita income and the highest standard of living. Samoa and Guam samey-same in the Pacific. Cuba was handed over to its people in 1902 and then again in 1909 after we had to go back ina and straighten out the books. We actually went back paid Mexico for part of the territory it ceded in the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo and purchased additional territory--now part of NM and AZ. Alaska and Hawaii were welcomed into the Union as states.
That record sure beats the sh!t out of Belgium, Portugal or France in Africa, the Middle East and Indo China, or the British Raj.
P!$$ on 'em. Meet 'em in the streets and kick their a$$es.
