Well, Kipling called it "the White man's burden" when the British were ruling the roost. The Americans used to call it "Manifest Destiny" at one time, but later renamed it "The Free World" and still later the "New World Order". The Japanese used to speak of a "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere".

Have a little compassion, Richard...those who must bear the burdens of an imperial policy have feelings too! :-)
