Are you misunderstanding the definition of modren imperialism.
I consider "Modern imperialism" and similar terms inventions by third-world elites to scare their subjects with the bogeyman of imperialism. Globalization of trade and capital is NOT "imperialism".
You are clearly out of your mind. We install & support dictatorships in other countries, such as the Shah in Iran, Saddam Hussein in Iraq, Musharraf in Pakistan, Mubarak in Egypt -
The U.S. had nothing to do with Mubarak's rise to power (the Muslim Brotherhood did that by assassinating his predecessor), nor did the U.S. order Musharraf to seize power in Pakistan - though it seems like a source of mental comfort for Pakistanis to believe that, yes?
we dispose them (Saddam)...Castro?...Allende...Afghanistan...[blah-blah]
These are more properly classified as U.S. enemies or opponents. The relationship the U.S. seeks is NOT one of master and slave/subordinate but between sovereign states. I do realize Pakistanis, deeply experienced with feudal and imperial rule, have trouble grasping that. It means that the U.S. isn't responsible for the decision-making of a Castro or Allende but does have to deal with it somehow. It means that the U.S. isn't responsible for the decisions of Pakistani officials but does have to find some way to deal with them. Sometimes the U.S. will respond by co-operation, sometimes bribes, sometimes war, sometimes dirty tricks, but the U.S. prefers international law and bilateral agreements.
None of these constitute imperialism or colonialism. But Pakistanis don't see it that way. It is a perceptual problem, a failure to grasp reality and history correctly: as one Pakistani once wrote to me, Pakistan is a colony rather than a country. Naturally Pakistanis resent this, not grasping that the colonial
structure remained but the foreign colonial
rulers are gone, replaced by their own.
That is why Davis remains in a Pakistani prison. Had this incident (a diplomat killing attempted armed robbers) happened in any other country I can think of either the offending diplomat would have been kicked out of the country within two days or he would have been allowed to continue in his duties.
The solution to Pakistan's problems isn't to be found by killing Davis. In my opinion the solution is to re-work Pakistan's very imperfect democracy. That is only going to happen when the people at the bottom wake up and demand accountability to the common citizen or at least his elected representatives; that sun be allowed to shine in every dark nook and cranny where unaccountable power is allowed to accumulate.
