24. I'm not sure it was a waste..
I read an article a while back that stated the United States was close to sewing up the region. Of course there's been a zillion others that proclaim our imminent demise. I can't really imagine what a huge juggernaut our Military/Defense/Intelligence Apparatus is. It seems to me that we are a pimple on the ass of the Pentagon.

"Europeans rationalized their empires as civilizing missions. Today the utopian rhetoric of American exceptionalism masks the primary intent of the United States to create, not actual colonies, but a global market subservient to transnational capital."
