Go ahead and compare 'Manifest Destiny' to Han Chinese Imperialism of the last 2000 years, that exercise will enlighten us all. As part of 'Manifest Destiny', make sure sure to include the dozens of major states like Korea, Japan, Germany, France, Italy that the US liberated from other conquerors at great cost, and others it provides support for at some cost. Like Taiwan. If the US were an Imperial Power, all the Oil in Iraq and in Saudi Arabia would belong to it. Ironically, as the US 5th Fleet today provides protection for all merchant craft in the Gulf at this very moment, so that that everyone is free to move, buy and sell from/with whom they please - considerably more of that Oil goes to China than the US.
