Naturally, I don't really see the policy I have suggested as being strictly imperialist. The goal, after all, is to bring freedom and democracy to the world. However, most people out there will probably view this as being an imperialist policy, and I doubt I could convince them otherwise. So why not revel in it, instead? For that matter, as I mentioned, it really would require behaving in an imperial manner, at least at first. The ultimate goal is to let the people of the world decide for themselves whether they want to be part of the United States (or a reformed United Nations, with actual powers of government), and they should be free to choose not to... as long as whatever they choose involves democratic government.
