	Afghanistan, bin Laden and the hypocrisy of American imperialism
		American Imperialism spent billions of US dollars, and provided generous military aid to the mujaheedin in order to overthrow the Kabul regime.
		American imperialism was apparently deaf and blind at the time when Taliban was slaughtering women and children in Mazar-e-Sharif, and when they carried out massive ethnic cleansing in Bamyan.

		To lose sight of or ignore the national and international contexts of, say, Dickens's representations of Victorian businessmen, and to focus only on the internal coherence of their roles in his novels is to miss an essential connection between his fiction and its historical world.

		Oh, sorry — that wasn't imperialism; it was "occupation." But when Americans are running foreign governments, it's a distinction without a difference.
		The history of American imperialism is hardly one of unadorned good doing; there have been plenty of shameful episodes, such as the mistreatment of the Indians.
		The indications are mixed as to whether the United States is prepared to embrace its imperial role unapologetically.

	Into the maelstrom: the crisis of American imperialism and the war against Iraq (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		At the same time, the American bourgeoisie brutally suppressed the first great struggles of the emerging working class: the national railway strike of 1877, the struggle for the eight-hour day in the 1880s, the Homestead Steel strike in 1892, and the Pullman strike of 1894, to name only the most famous eruptions of class struggle.
		All aspects of American policy, both foreign and domestic, under Democrats as well as Republicans, can be best understood as a response to the problems arising from the mounting contradictions of capitalism as a world system and to the deterioration of the position of the United States within that system.
		The strategy of American imperialism consists of utilizing its massive military power to establish the unchallengeable global hegemony of the United States and completely subordinate to itself the resources of the world economy.

	Where Frank Rich goes wrong: the war in Iraq and the stakes for American imperialism
		The millions of American working people and youth who oppose the war in Iraq must face the facts: the war cannot be stopped through protest and pressure on the existing political parties and institutions.
		American imperialist military intervention is the disaster in Iraq.
		The only principled course is to demand the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of all American troops and personnel, as well as the remaining troops of the US-led “coalition,” combined with the payment of extensive reparations to the Iraqi people.

	Calvin Coolidge, "Intervention in Nicaragua"
		It is well known that in 1912 the United States intervened in Nicaragua with a large force and put down a revolution, and that from that time to 1925 a legation guard of American Marines was, with the consent of the Nicaragua government, kept in Managua to protect American lives and property.
		The American chargé d'affaires at Managua has informed the department that he considers the presence of war vessels at these ports desirable, and the American consul at Bluefields has reported that a warship is urgently needed to protect life and property at that port.
		American as well as foreign bondholders will undoubtedly look to the United States for the protection of their interests.

	Weapons of mass destruction in Iraq: Bush's "big lie" and the crisis of American imperialism
		There is no precedent in American history for the sheer scale of falsification engaged in by the Bush administration, the Republican Party and their media chorus.
		The American media parroted uncritically the claims by the Bush administration that Iraq possessed large stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction, that Saddam Hussein had close ties to the Islamic fundamentalist terrorists and that US military action in the Middle East was in retaliation for the September 11 attacks.
		All of the institutions of the American ruling elite are implicated in crimes of staggering dimensions—the White House, the Congress, the judiciary, the military, the media, the corporate aristocracy.

		It would become common practice for Americans to see the hands of Providence and the plans of Prophecy in the political machinations of Western imperialism and colonialism in the region, and such proclamations are still found today among the American Christian right, among the likes of Revs.
		American support for the zionist colonization of Palestine, which many believe only began when US President Truman was the first to recognize the modern state of Israel in 1948, is actually much more deeply rooted in American culture and society, as demonstrated by many statements of travelers, missionaries and officials.
		Americans today are living out a long-held belief that it is their destiny to rule the region and to defeat the Muslims.

	Swans Commentary: The Case For A Committed American Imperialism, by Gilles d'Aymery - ga136
		Imperialism used to be the white man's burden.
		Nation-building is the kind of imperialism you get in a humanitarian rights era, a time when great powers believe simultaneously in the right of small nations to govern themselves and in their own right to rule the world.
		Effective imperial power also requires controlling the subject people's sense of time, convincing them that they will be ruled forever.

	What Price the American Empire?
		It is about why we are being told by our leaders, in tones of resignation and fatalism, that it is not a question of whether, but of when, the next act of cataclysmic terror occurs here, and why we must accept the possibility that a nuclear weapon will be exploded here.
		But when Americans ask, "Why do they hate us?" and "Why do these Islamic radicals on the other side of the earth want to come over here and commit hara-kiri killing us?" we get responses that ought not to satisfy a second-grader.
		Now while America should use every weapon in her arsenal, from intelligence to diplomacy to war, to prevent terror and to punish terror, we must address the central issue: Terror on American soil, and eventual cataclysmic and atomic terror on American soil, is the price of American empire.

	American Imperialism and Anti-Imperialism a Century Ago
		Let a line be drawn between two bloody September days in the history of American globalism precisely a century apart: 9-11-2001 and 9- 6-1901, the political assassination of the first American imperial president, William McKinley, gunned down in the midst of a war of colonial conquest and anti-insurgency in the Philippines.

	Towards a new century of American imperialism, by Herbert I Schiller
		At the core, regulation [of the international system] is an imperial doctrine in that it seeks to promote a set of standards we endorse - something not to be confused with imperialism, which is a foreign policy of exploitation (1)".
		Other American voices are less shy about using tougher terminology in prescribing the United States’ role in the world arena.
		In this mainstream American view, a frontier species of vigilantism is advocated as foreign policy.

	Downsizing American Imperialism
		Other than a political-military elite for whom imperial power is a ticket to fame and fortune, what most Americans would like most is to be left alone.
		The obvious price that Americans are paying for being a hyper-power, a global hegemony, a reborn Rome, is the daily loss of soldiers in Iraq and the $87 billion that Washington will spend there instead of at home on health care, education, roads and the rest.
		The source of this intriguing concept is Clyde Prestowitz, author of the new book, Rogue Nation: American Unilateralism And The Failure of Good Intention (The quote from Garton Ash comes from it).
