Ask the Filipinos. US forces killed a quarter of a million of them.

Or go look at those south of the border. Guatemalans, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans and Cubans have all been victims of vicious US imperialism.

It's funny how when the subject of colonisation comes up, the war to colonise the Philippines is conveniently forgotten.

The USA bought the Philippines, Puerto Rico and Guam from Spain in 1898. The Filipino-American Independence War from 1898 to 1902 ensued, killing 4,234 Americans and how many Filipinos? 16,000 were killed in action and 200,000 died from famine and pestilence. (The Philippines lost and was colonized until 1946.)

You're giving them more credit than they deserve Tom. Hell most of them don't even know about it.
