The central focus of US foreign policy is world domination and a Pax Americana. The takeover of Iraq, Jordan, Iran, & al was planned long before 9/11. This is not hyperbole or paranoid conspiracy theory. Military takeover and world domination, ideally through "total war" is the written, published and unambiguous underlying US foreign policy. We are exactly what we criticized the Soviets for being.
Don't take my word for it. Google: 'Rebuilding America's Defenses' or 'Project for the New American Century' and read the plans for yourself. (Sorry, my attempts at links never seem to work). I am not being paranoid.
All this brouhaha about enemies and threats is pure propaganda. We are creating these threats by our actions on the world stage, then exploiting them to justify repression at home and interventionism abroad. We are creating enemies by manipulating foreign politics -- installing puppet regimes, maintaining military bases on foreign soil, invading and occupying.
The easiest, quickest, least expensive way to eliminate this "imminent threat" from foreign powers, that the right wing is so terrified (and manipulated) by, is to eliminate its cause.
Why are the citizens Iceland, Switzerland or Finland secure, prosperous and unafraid, despite being negligable military powers? -- Because they focus on their own citizenry and don't **** other countries off by meddling in their affairs!
[Sorry about the rant, but the obtuseness of the American public really sets me off sometimes.]

Okay, I'll restate. What do the Germans and Japanese feel about the U.S. government, in light of the fact, that they could have been U.S. citizens today, had we taken ownership?
