Hi, Ray. I agree that the word empire doesn't fit from within the American psyche but too many people would say the shoe fits. As long as that large a discrepancy exists, you would think we would be more mindful of the consequences of some of our approaches in foreign policy; again, it isn't always what you say and do, but how you say it that conveys the message.
What else shall we call the American century? Karen Cousin wrote: Again, do we want to be that kind of an empire? Hi Karen, For me I think the model of empire is a poor one for what we should be in the coming world. REH
