[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] [QUOTE]Republicans have shown tendencies for a very long time of having imperialist ambitions. One of our strongest, and one of our most identifiable, presidents, Theodore Roosevelt committed imperialist actions to have the Panama Canal built [/QUOTE]Which had the side effect of economically benefiting Panama, as well as just about every other country in the world, by reducing the travel time for oceangoing vessels by a considerable fraction. And all that for the small price of supporting the Panamanian revolution from Colombia (now a Narcostate.) Suez, anyone? [QUOTE] and sent an armada on a global trip in an effort to showcase American might and industry. [/QUOTE]Whoop-a-dee doo. It took us that long just to HAVE a respectable navy. Nothing wrong in being proud of the fact. It's not as though we were the first or last country to project power. [QUOTE] Furthermore, in his presidency, Americans were waging a long forgotten campaign in the Philippines [/QUOTE]So it went from being a Spanish possession to being an American one. Incidentally, another Democrat has gone 'round the bend... I suspect this man will be remembered with WWII-era Lindbergh... http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/134549992_mcdermott07m.html [/QB][/QUOTE]
