A cartoon history of American Empire

This is a brilliant way of understanding one view of American Foreign Policy. Traditionally, America has been thought of as a non-imperial nation, certainly it differs from the European Empires of the 19th and 20th Centuries. But it is only different in its strategies for empire, not its intention. This cartoon, narrated by Viggo Mortensen, written by the US historian Howard Zinn, shows a different view of US Imperialism, from the massacre of the Plains Indians, all the way to the invasion of Iraq.
