Tell me, before the war who was the U.S. attacking with its "empire?" You're so full of blind hatred for the U.S. you can't see the truth.  Is the U.S. perfect?  No.  Has our government done underhanded things to advance our power and influence?  Sure.  Everyone does.  Are we similar to Germany and Japan?  Not even close.</p></blockquote><p></p>
