The United States didn't practice Imperialism? Really? So I guess we didn't take over and run Puerto Rico, Guam, Cuba, a large part of Panama, Samoa and the Virgin Islands? I have news for you...we practiced Imperialism...we just didn't carry it to the extreme of other European nations but then again we didn't really HAVE to considering we were in possession of vast quantities of land and resources that they didn't possess.
The person here who is "pretending" is yourself, Joe...you're "pretending" that communism as practiced in the last century in different places around the globe hasn't failed rather dramatically.
Corky, a few crappy islands is not an "empire", dude. We avoided Imperialism because, thankfully, it was against our nature, which is why we are the only superpower left.
Oh, hey, how did that imperialism in Cuba work out for us again? I heard that some dashing young fellows threw us out.
When a country actually "practices" communism, you can get back to me.
