The politicians, from top to bottom, deny it, but the facts on the ground, as they are wont to observe, prove that the U.S. has been on an imperial march since the end of WW II. Historians might even conclude that we've been embarking on modern day Crusades. It doesn't take a spin doctor long to identify Infidels wherever they want to.
More likely they will conclude that we have been just another example of a country which might have been what its founders imagined, but which succumbed to the greed of its military/industrial establishment's penchant for waging unending war, somewhere, all the time.
Here's a great essay on the subject. Read it and weep.
