"We have crushed a deceived and confiding people; we have stamped out a just and intelligent and well-ordered republic; we have stabbed an ally in the back and slapped the face of a guest. We have debauched America's honor and blackened her face before the world. And so I am an anti-imperialist. I am opposed to having the eagle put its talons on any other land." — Mark Twain, 1900
