Is America building an empire?

DallasMorningViews | William McKenzie:
“Is America at risk of building an empire? Or is merely protecting its interests -- and the interest of its allies -- with its foreign policy choices, such as intervening in Iraq, taking on Iran and dealing with the Taliban?”
Ed Cognoski responds:

What do you mean "building"? It's already done. It's a long time in the works, from the Louisiana Purchase to Manifest Destiny to TR's Splendid Little War to Wilson's League of Nations to Truman's United Nations to Bush's policy of pre-emptive war.
