Ultimately, Americans need to _think on their own_ whether imperialism is bad and why. Leftists can tell them what imperialism is, mapping out a theory of capitalism, as well as publicizing this or that well documented fact of imperialism, current and historical. Beyond this, Americans need to do their own work, arriving at their own conclusion. -- Yoshie
