You make it sound as if an empire is a bad thing. The Islamic empire lasted for hundreds of years and the powerful military was the main ingredient in their success and longevity. Are we just be selective in which empires we find to being distasteful?

Islamic Empire lasted because it had the message of inclusion for whatever subjects in conquered. Muslims didn't massacre every spaniard or christians in middle east that they could find when they conquered those lands.
So, finally, you are accepting that america is an empire now, seminole? The subjugated iraqis or afghanis don't get a say in what america does so how is it democratic? :)
