berz... as I pointed out... the "small difference" has to do with foreign policy and projection of power...
US imperialism has outdone anything the Nazis could have hoped for...
13 colonies... to the entire annihilation of the Native American culture as it existed... expanding to the present day "continental" US. Hawaii, Phillipines, Panama, other South Pacific islands... Cuba was in the cross-hairs, but the Spanish kept us in check, then the Soviets... Puerto Rico...
WWI, yeah, we came to the aid of allies and other free societies...
WW2... came to the aid of free societies again... although we provoked Japan into attacking us...
Korea , trying to exert influence in the region... trying to stop communism (btw if communism is so flawed, why did we need to fight to stop it? capitalists never explain this)
Vietnam US kills over 4 million in another vain attempt at projecting power...
then there's South and Latin America... propping up dictators, supporting violent revolutions against democratically elected leaders that didn't want to play ball...
then there's the mideast and the muslim world... we supported Momar (our buddy in Libya), messed around in Iran until it blew up in our faces... same with Iraq...
This imperialism in the muslim world reminds me so much of 19th Century Africa... the Christians and capitalists were going to spread "civilized" culture to Africa... the different powers used that mantra to justify raping, exploiting, and colonizing the continent... and look where Africa is now. The Muslim world is much different. They are going to resist Democracy and westernization to the death... this is another crusade, but we don't call it that.
IMO, that's not too different from Nazi Germany... Hitler wanted to spread his master race across the globe... America wants to spread it's culture and impose it's economic superiority over the world, damn the innocent casualties.
Clear enough for you? I don't give a **** what Rome, or the Soviets, or anybody else did... it doesn't make America's policies just... it doesn't make us morally superior just because the US isn't killing people in factory death houses.
