It is a cliche these days to observe that the United States now possesses a global empire - different from Britain's and Rome's but an empire nonetheless.

To call the American role in the world imperial was, for many who did so, a way of asserting that the United States was misusing its power beyond its borders and, in so doing, subverting its founding political principles within them.

I always start from the stand that it is imperialism that needs us, not we who need the imperialists.

We here in Egypt are fed up with U.S. colonialism.

I hate imperialism. I detest colonialism. And I fear the consequences of their last bitter struggle for life. We are determined that our nation, and the world as a whole, shall not be the plaything of one small corner of the world.

It's a big statement if you use the word 'America' in the title of your poem.

We really need to stop the imperialist tendencies of countries like the United States and Great Britain.

In general, Americans are not very good at nation-building and not very good colonialists.

Americans believe with all their heart, the vast majority of them, and the vast majority of Floridians, that the United States of America is simply the single greatest nation in all of human history.
