You were left behind... America has never been Colonial off of our own continent. We do not rule other countries as a part of the American Empire. As far as I can remember the last time we did a land grab was against the Indians. We didn't colonize Germany, Japan, China, Mexico, France, Italy, The Philapeans (can't spell that one) Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan, Spain, Great Brittain or any other country we have been at war with. Spew you crap elsewhere it just makes you look ignorant...
