I think it's too early to say we're seeing the birth of the American empire. Depending on what's meant. Maybe it's because I have a negative feeling about the word 'empire'. If you're meaning an economic empire where free people operate in the Creative Chaos of a Capitalist eonomy under the watchful eye of a much smaller government charged with making sure each and every one of us is free to take our own path, safe to do so. And never once telling you how you must act. This EMPIRE will be taking the rest of Earth along for the same ride. Life , Liberty & Pursuit of happiness for the World!!
