you know i think the US is trying to become england in the 1800's because they try to 'liberate' countries and in doing so they get a benefit of cheap stuff like in 1800's when england said the american colonies are only allowed to trade with england and england only....maybe the US is trying to that also because they want some free stuff (everybody likes free stuff)

No, a better analogy would be we are like Rome.
