The Building of an Empire means going out of borders and conquering other lands. Many Americans would be against this because of the possibility of losing allies and economic venture. Wars are expensive and the current war in Iraq is an outstanding example of the cost of military control. On the lines of losing allies what I mean is that America would look like a Conqueror in abuse of power and would istigate political resentment. It would also mean a control on the lines of Dictatorship because ruling a people that hate you is impossible without military force. The current territories in U.S. control want us gone and are fiercly fighting U.S. government in political ways. A territiory is basically a state but is not officially affiliated with the United States. Controling these places alone is extremely difficult, and if the U.S. wanted to infinitely win the political boundaries would need to be destroyed, our laws prohibit that and the way we're going I would see many repeats of independent nations, free of U.S. control.
