Hiya,
I'm sorry to go all the way back to this article but I was just reading this thread and have to clear up one or two points.
1. I'm not sure what you mean by 'American Imperialism.' Don't confuse imperialism with (and I admit it) and very agreesive foriegn policy. The americans have never gained territory from any war since the 19th century (i'm playing down that but if I go into it now I'll go on forever.)
2. America is the third oldest democracy in the world and the first to actively encourage liberalism.
3. Liberalism and imperialism are contrasting policies.
Hope I didn't sound too agressive, look forward to reading the rest.
