I would agree that America has been the most ruthlessly aggressive state in the past 50 years... but trying to prove so by comparing our history to Europes is not a particularly useful way to do so. Europe also has a bloody legacy that is thousands of years old, and don't forget that America inherited its aspirations of domination from the old continent.
This new war on terror is just the same old stuff in new packaging. Remember the cold war? Its all about establishing the rest of the world as Americas service sector, in the disguise of democracy and freedom. Democracy for those who agree with us, and freedom for those who can afford it.
