Has the oppressed become the oppressor?

The founding fathers fought for freedom from Imperialist Regime of England now are we as Americans trying to be another England?

Update:

Imperialism- policy of extending a nation's authority by territorial acquisition or by the establishment of economic and political hegemony over other nations

Update 2:

Countries we have taken over, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, Panama etc. and any country that houses an American military base, with the exception of Cuba.

    What's come to England can give a good picture of the future except the fact that US might not be as lucky.

    No. We are trying to bring freedom to the world for our own security.

    Without dmocracy in every country on earth things can only get worse.

    When we were the oppressed in America it was our leaders(england) who oppressed us. The United States has oppressed no one and you know it.

    In Africa, Asia, and the middle east it is the leaders who ar eoppressing the people. and it is th fault of the people for allowin g this to happen.

    Islamic leaders freely admit enslavement, abusement, and torture of women in their society yet try to blame the Americans for bring democracy into theI slamic countries.

    In Africa again it is mainly the Islamic muslim and small tribal war lords who make their money from drugs, and death who are the oppressors.

    You look at world news on line and tv and in the news, and you under stand the problem yet you try to lay blames exactually wher eit does not belong.

    I think your founding fathers lived in a hole in a desert somewhere in africa not America.

    Name another country that America has taken over.

    We're not an imperialist country. If we were, there'd be no Canada or Mexico. Just North USA and South USA.
