Are you a domestic terrorist?

[Jester]

You mean when they were known as British, French, and Spanish?

You *conquered* them. Subjugated them by force of arms. Made them into protectorates, forced them from their lands, or subverted their legitimate governments. Who you conquered them from is somewhat immaterial, although in the cases of Mexico and Hawaii, you just took it right out from under the nations themselves. In the case of the indigenous peoples, the record is even worse, a forced relocation that borders on genocide.

The point, however, is about exploitation of people and resources. The US emphatically was *not* innocent in these affairs prior to WWII. Not even close.
