Let's not even get into the more recent trade shows, like Vietnam or Desert Storm. All but about 6 American wars (Revolution, 1812, Shay's Rebellion, Bleeding Kansas, WWII, Korea) have been at the behest of monied American interests.

We might not have had a colonial office, but our imperialism is just as real as England's or France's.

Inasmuch as the only American interests there are are monied to one degree or another -- they are traders -- and they in their turn make even those Americans not employed by them monied also, so what? America's business is business, and about the only thing rulers can do with business is mess it up.

The monied interests are invariably your interests, in the grand scheme of things. And mine no less, of course.
