"The Iraqi people will be much happier under the American way of life"
"We will impose our culture on the Iraqi people and set them free"
Invading another country to impose policies on the people is imperialistic, and there's no way to argue that the US isn't doing that, because changing their government...there's no more of a way to impose your policies.
[edit] Without France, the US would not have won the Revolutionary War. And the US gives no props to France about that? Nope, the only thing France gets are Freedom Fries
