I guess U.S. is the only country in the world,
still having some (major) colonnialistic toughts.

I agree -- that your guess is just a guess.  At last glance, France and
China and Russia and India and Pakistan and Iraq and a bunch of other
powerful nations had their eye towards expanding their borders.  We
Americans may have a longer history of imperialism than others, but we're
definitely not alone.

But I guess we all have to model our own reality, neh?
