I don't even expect to get a response from you, because your fundamentally authoritarian character causes you to make inflammatory statements and then take off like a chickenshit whenever anyone calls you on your bullshit, but I'll take the bait.
Let me give you a real easy example of the difference between principled anti-imperialism and anti-Americanism.
Someone who is opposed to the American war in Iraq, *and* to Germany's carving up of the former Yugoslavia, as well as Germany's recently approved "peacekeeping" mission to the Congo, is an Anti-imperialist.
Someone who went on the streets with the rest of the German mob on February 15th, 2003 to protest the looming war in Iraq, but who never did a thing about NATO's criminal war against Serbia or any other European-approved "humanitarian" mission, is fundamentally Anti-American.
Additionally, people who call for a European army, and for building up the EU as a counter-hegemonic force to the USA, are Anti-American. An anti-imperialist follows Karl Liebknecht in locating the main enemy in one's own land.
