You’re not suggesting, are you, that the Bush administration would

The view of the world you’re responding to doesn’t allow much for
agency - “US imperialism” does things, not actual people holding
office who belong to political parties with distinctive views of the
world. And that view of the world doesn’t accept that different
parties hold different views of the world, since they’re two cheeks
of the same derriere, as Hitchens once put it.
