ok, well, i'll see what i can find. but in other regards, if the US is such an empirical nation as you insinuate, then why wouldn't we already have done this? gone gallavanting around the world, swooping up all that was interest to us, instead of waiting decades to do so? what would be the point of waiting, especially if we have all this military already in place?
look at the british, they did it, a long time ago, and it was no big deal then. so why should we wait?

We have not waited. The British took 150 years or so to build up their empire, since becoming a primary naval power. After WWII, the British empire was all but gone and the US emerged as the strongest nation. That was barely 60 years ago and already the US owns the world economically. We will now go forward to occupy the world geographically, in those key staging points that require geographic occupation. That will take another 20 years at most. So the US will be the ultimate empire in a total of 80 years or so since emerging as the up and coming nation. The US will achieve total and absolute domination of the world faster than any country in history. So we have not waited. We have gone as fast as geo-political conditions would allow.
Now the above would all be fine and dandy if it was just a matter of Americans ruling the world and maintaining all our freedoms at home. But the power elite clearly want to control the rest of the world AND micromanage the lives of Americans as well. They are on a power-mad trip. The future is in jeopardy unless people start to wake up and fight back. We don't need the US constitution and bill of rights eroded AT ALL by any act of congress. I don't care if it is called the "Patriot" act. That is some scary piece of legislation if you actually read it. Homeland Security and Information Awareness are not far behind, depsite their benign sounding titles.
