American imperialism Quote by Tommy Douglas

“We are not anti-American. We do not dislike Americans though we abhor American imperialism in all its manifestations. But then, so do many Americans. Many of them have said that even more forthrightly than we have, and many of them have suffered more than any of us for their plain speaking.” quote by Tommy Douglas — Download Open image
