fraz, see my comment above. The comparison was not literal but there are scary parallels. I think britain learned from its past, with some shame and humility, and has good relations with its commonwealth partners, not something we can say about the US! I agree that the actions of the US are imperialist  but they're facist too. There is a complete disregard for international law, and anyone who dares to stand up to US foreign policy, or critisize it, is a 'rogue state'!
