For a town that had no English or Americans living in it. He saw it as indications of something close to "imperialism".<BR/><BR/>If American Imperialism is defined as the unification of the world under one language, through the business of providing everyone economic prosperity and military security, then I suppose that is an Imperialism all classical liberals can be proud of.Ymarsakarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246906722493964175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5676423713279237243.post-37931979032476956902008-03-10T19:43:00.000-04:002008-03-10T19:43:00.000-04:00As time goes on, more and more I recognize the dif...As time goes on, more and more I recognize the difference between people that believe in uplifting humanity into a better situation and those that believe in keeping humanity down in the peasant/serf/slave class.<BR/><BR/>Those of us that believe in the principles of classical liberalism, favors any power, organization, or nation that not only seeks to do good but actually makes the attempt to do good.<BR/><BR/>If it takes imperialism or American military power, then that should be what it is. Without limitations, without qualifiers. What should happen concerning alleviating human suffering is "does it work". Not "does it please the Democrat party" or "does it conform to politically correct totalitarian thought".Ymarsakarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246906722493964175noreply@blogger.com
