The worm is starting to turn. The MSM is always cognitive of popular opinion. They mostly have tried to sway it in the direction of Socialism or Communism but they see, more than we do, the financial repercussions of their futile efforts to undermine our sovereignty and moral values.
Let's not forget that America has never tried to colonize another people or country. This would be unlike most of our "allies". Let's start with Rome, then go to the Holy Wars that propagated the United Kingdom. From there, we can observe the overbearing influence the British, French, Germans and Spanish tried to impose on us after they basically told us that we could leave because we were their "rancid refuse". Next, we can look at the conquests of Germany and Russia, as they tried to impose their way of life on weaker countries for personal gain. Add to this the unstopping zealous greed that has been exhibited by China, the Mongols, Korea and North Viet Nam, to name a few, in the Asian world. I won't even touch on the misguided Islamofacism that's been present in their religion since time immemorial. The bottom line is that we have been the benevolent benefactor of the world since we've been around and gotten nothing but envy and avarice from those we have protected. We can only keep doing what we're doing because we do have Christian morals and God's blessing as the most prosperous and generous people in His world.
What really impresses me about what's happening in Iraq is that they now have something in common with us. They risked their lives and showed great strength and determination to be a free people. I can understand how this made them feel like brethren instead of subordinates. I welcome them as my brothers in the fight for freedom. I respect them and hope that their courage can inspire others in that region, that I feel are weak because they haven't found their balls yet and will never be free until they do.

This isn't really true. But we haven't done it in over a century. We flat-out colonized the Kingdom of the Hawaiian Islands, and we fought a rather nasty (and almost forgotten) colonial war in the Philippines after we took them from Spain.

*** Let's not forget that America has never tried to colonize another people or country. ***

uh... not quite.

After the Spanish American War we colonized (in no particular order):

• Cuba
  
• Puerto Rico (and I think we're 'still there')
  
• Philippines
  
• Hawaii (I think its a State now)
  
• Guam (wait are we 'still there')

Then there's the "US Protectorites"

• Micronesia
  
• Republic of Palau
  
• the Mariana Islands
  
• AMERICAN Samoa
  
• the Virgin Islands
  
• Republic of Marshall Islands
  
• and the .... Trust Territory of the Pacific

And as I recall we sort of 'colonized' California.
However I do believe we should give THAT ONE back. I also recall that with some of our 'colonies' we blew them to HELL with the Atomic and Hydrogen bomb testing, like Bikini Atoll for instance.

So saying the USA doesn't, nor never did 'colonize', just isn't factually correct.
