>I am convinced that the huge HUGE majority of American citizens wouldn't countenance anything like I described above, but if your leadership did you (collectively) would be faced with either telling the leadership to not do it, or support them.
This is what confuses me about people that keep screaming about US "imperialism". Yes, we could use our power to take what we want. But we don't. Heck, we suffer that madman in Cuba! And we'll probably put up with Chavez' noise for a while, unless he starts shelling his neighbors.
Show me the imperialism! The Soviets moved into Eastern Europe during WW2 and didn't leave for decades. THAT's imperialism, in my view.
