always? you really need to pick up a history book. and besides, every act of foreign policy is done for money, be it peace or war. and just to let you know, we havnt been getting any oil from iraq.

what does imperilism have to do with overall american foreign policy? you think just because we are in iraq, that we are trying to take it over? and when has america ever imperilized any country? (besides the philipines)
