Lying For Empire
Mike of the North posts a link to a great source recent history describing American global conquest, caled Lying For Empire. It shows how completely full of crap the war apologists and rationalizers are, not to mention the architects of chaos themselves. It's a bitch to realize you've been duped, but those who think we're out there defending democracy are being played for saps in the worst way.

Which makes all American people evil fire breathing Nazi stormtroopers...

Ok, let me put it this way. There is always a way of looking at things in a balanced way. To extremists think that our government has always done right and all actions have been justified, or that our government is always evil and has never done anything justifiable.
I enjoy books like this, but much of what is said has to be taken with a grain of salt because of often extremist views.

You're right that extremists are one-sided in their views, but this book is, for one thing, non-partisan, so that indicates a foundation of balance. I take everything with a grain of salt, but I certainly do appreciate a non-partisan examination of military aggression, especially during the years that it is done in my name.
Shea,
There are no "non-partisans" in the United States :)

P.S. I do agree that the U.S. should not be the world's policeman.
