This is an excerpt from the platform of the American Anti-Imperialist League. We hold that the policy known as imperialism is hostile to liberty and tends toward militarism, an evil from which it has been our glory to be free. We regret that it has become necessary in the land of Washington and Lincoln to reaffirm that all men, of whatever race or color, are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We maintain that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. We insist that the subjugation of any people is "criminal aggression" and open disloyalty to the distinctive principles of our government. Why did the United States disregard the sentiments expressed in this platform?

The United States has betrayed the platform of the Anti-Imperalist League many times in recent history, by becoming an aggressor of foreign countries without enough justification.

Explanation:

These aggressions can be seen in the American interventions in Iraq, Libya and Syria during the last two decades.

In the case of Iraq, the excuse was that Iraq held weapons of mass destruction, which was a lie.

As for Libya, the goal was the removal of dictator Muamar Gadafi from power, which the U.S. led coallition did in 2011, but 9 years later, Libya still lacks a stable government, and faces the Islamic threat of extremist groups.

Finally, in Syria, the U.S. Government also wanted to expel dictator Bashar Al Assad from power, but the war became a complicated matter, with many parties involved, and with Bashar Al Assad still in power. Nowadays, the U.S. in retreat, and Russia got the upperhand, so the intervention could be considered largely a failure in many ways.

“the iliad” (gr: “iliás”) is an epic poem by the ancient greek poet homer, which recounts some of the significant events of the final weeks of the trojan war and the greek siege of the city of troy (which was also known as ilion, ilios or ilium in ancient times).
