Drug trade?

Of course, if you're going to list internal shames (as someone did
for australia), it's hard to see how the US ever got the title in the
first place, what with everything from japanese interment camps to
the civil rights movement to nuclear testing to...

The original article seemed to be talking about 'morals' applied
to lack of expansionist foreign policy; stuff like going into Viet nam
or Korea and killing lots of people and then leaving without our fair
share of exploitation of the people we "helped" or "defeated", or any
clear profit motive in the first place. :-(  Otherwise...  terrorism,
genocide, weapons of mass destruction used against civilian populations,
research and stockpiling of bio and chemical weapons, ecological
atrocities...  we've DONE all that (and now we don't want anyone else
to follow in our footsteps...)
