I assume you're speaking hyperbolically. Imagination is not necessary to think of far more intolerable (at least to me) forms of American Imperialism; just remember U.S. training of Central American death squads and South American torture squads, or the ecological destruction of Vietnam, or the repeated (multiply x n) invasions, occupations, overthrows of elected governments, etc. in Latin America, etc., etc., etc. I mean, really! :) Blair P.S. Not a criticism, Paul; just thought I'd mention it, for the record, so to speak. _____________________________________________________________________ Blair Sandler "If I had to choose a reductionist paradigm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Classical Marxism is a damned good one." _____________________________________________________________________
