''White Man's Burden''-''Manifest Destiny''--''The Great White Fleet of 1906''-- We've had our periods of imperialism, benign imperialism to be sure, but imperialism nonetheless.

Calling our liberation of oppressed peoples "imperialism" is like the Feminazi's calling marital sex "rape". If it doesn't involve a hobnailed boot on a throat demanding tribute, it isn't imperialism.

With the exception of the Philippines, I can agree. That was badly handled.
