Well, I'm trying to explore the paradox in promoting democracy and yet violating the basic rights of people in order to illustrate that expansionism was an essential component of the American state and the ideas of the founding fathers and subsequent American leaders was geared towards this objective in order to establish a pattern and practice of hegemonic expansionism. Thus, any scrutiny of American foreign policy should take its historical expansionism into consideration.
