Re: The Case Against the War
M,
As you know, I'm sure, the US ranks far down the list of aid given to other countries based on percentage of GNP. And, I'm not even sure that we should call 30 billion to Turkey, and money given to other countries, "aid" to begin with. Of course, I'm not sure that other developed nations don't include bribery as aid either.
Also, you can claim that the US is not an imperialist nation based on the logic that we haven't established "colonies" around the world, but a more useful term, rather than "imperialism," might be "hegemony."
