Strangely, the U.S. reign over the oil rich Middle East country of Iraq fits the definition of imperialism. Our alliance with Britain in the status quo seems natural considering Britain's imperialistic past. The U.S. made a "pre-emptive" strike on Iraq without finding Weapons of Mass Destruction so what is the purpose for such measures if the original reason turned out to be false? You be the judge.
