Do you have any proof otherwise?
Wait, it's not job to provide proof of the US's non-imperialistic actions in Iraq. The point was made that we WERE being imperialistic...he should provide solid proof of that claim.

Historically, the US has been very imperialistic. Military force might have wiped out most of the "Native American" population, had disease not worked so well.
Completely different time and circumstances. Irrellevant..

The US had its clutches in Mexico and Central America (still does, in fact). The modern Middle East was significantly a European invention (in fact, the very term "Middle East" itself was).
Nothing of which confirms any imperialistic actions in Iraq.
