I think the term imperialist is bad, think about it:

-Romans first state imperialist in the world. They were hated for the people, into europe and North of Africa. Cesar was the lover and hater man in this age.

-Mongols they were feared for the people in all knowlegde world.

-Spain the first country which got conquered half world (half Europe, all South America and Central America and half of North America, half Africa, and Pacifican island). They were hated too. "Catholic kings" was the hater word.

-La France, Napoleon tried to get all Europe, but he didnt get South of Spain ,Italy and Portugal, and the north of Dutchland (Germany), He was hated.

-British, the second country wich got conquered half world.

-Germany. Hitler. Only this word.

-USA. They want to have all control in oil in the world. They dont conquer countries, but they say: if you dont do that we want to, we'll say all world that you are a bad country, and then we'll attack you. The normal people dont like the bush politician 'cause they are so belician, why do they wanna attack all world?. What do they fear?. Bush is like hitler, and he is a fascist, like Berlusconi or the B***** of Franco, the people in USA dont have any freedom to say or be that they want to. If you say that you are a muslim, the people hate you, and the police look you like a criminal. (I hate the religion 'cause is the evil root in the world), and they have the SS or american Gestapo known as FBI. Really, I dont understand how the people in USA like to live there, in a country without freedom....

These are my reason.... Imperialist is a bad term. The Out-freedom.

Shaide I thin that your characterizations are waaay too simplistic. And you are completely off base in saying that the US wants to controll all the worlds oil. If that were the case the US would own the middle east. If we were the kind of nation you described, there would have been no reason for us not to declare Kuwait and Iraq our property (to be shared with our allies) when we won the war in 1991. There is no other superpower out there to kick us out and no other coalition of governments that would summon the will to band together to wage a war with the US. Sounds sad, but thems the facts. We are not "THAT" kin dof nation.

Could the U.S be called a hegemony?

Shaide, you made exactly the same post in another thread that is an ongoing debate on this topic. You may not have realized that we don't make duplicate posts in the same forum for new threads unless the topic is so different it warrants it's own thread. This seems to be the same topic going on in the Empire thread without any changes that would justify a new thread being created.

I'm closing this one and asking you to continue any discussions in that thread.
