From a liberal web site we are given an extensive chronological parade, without sources, of U.S. foreign policy aggressions in order to expand the empire. A few of these, such as inflicting smallpox on American Natives and foreknowledge of the Pearl Harbor are disputed by historians. But the overwhelming evidence is that this nation has pursued expansion, even if reasons had to be fabricated to justify it. The author concludes, "Small countries around the world can definitely fear the wrath of the US if they dare to affect US interests..." I would a observe that in addition to military intervention, our use of the economics of "free trade" through treaties and loans by the IMF, World Bank, and WTO are also used to subjugate potentially uncooperative nations around the globe.
