Question

Do you think American foreign policy is based on imperialism, superiority and expansionism?

Answer 1

Sounds like someone's on the war path against that Ahmadenzdad and everybody knows it.  In that case it'd have to be superiority.

Answer 2

yes and also slavery of others.

Answer 3

Basically yes.

American foreign policy is the brain child of our 99% corporate owned and controlled federal govt. Those corporations expect new markets to be opened and all manner of protectionist financing schemes to be delivered in exchange for those massive campaign contributions they bundle up and hand over.

The oil in Iraq is only part of the picture. Building wal marts, kfcs, and starbucks, in Iraq, and finding another market for corporate american c**p (goods and "services") is the other.

By the way the 1% of government that this doesn't apply to has a name. It's Ron Paul.

Answer 4

Of course not.  A person with a five year old mentality might think so and certainly if you listen to the media you might come away with that impression.  Bravozulu had it right.  America is mostly a force for good and as the new president of France, Sarkozy, just admitted, it is the greatest nation on Earth.

Answer 5

You forgot about Colonialism and Manifest Destiny

Answer 6

Sure. How am I expected to answer? No. America is freedomville? I can't. I have actually come to hate America and all that it stands for.

Answer 7

No.  It is simply based on national interest.

Answer 8

oil and greed

Answer 9

No way.  That is ignorant nonsense for anybody to assert that.  The US, unlike the European colonial powers of a few decades ago, doesn't create colonies and govern them.  It frees nations that it defeats militarily to govern themselves as democracies.

Answer 10

I'm going to go with no.

I think it is often portrayed that way though.
