Elmo,Brian Van Reet,Sara You’re missing the point. The problem with Imperialism is that,it cannot function without popular support. Remember Vietnam had no oil and "French" Algeria just didn't have enough oil.Populous Imperialism Demands that Iraq to be occupied indirectly, with the white men keeping real control. The prowar "progressive" supports these aims as much as Niall Fergusons crowd. The main difference is that the Prowar "progressives" it only supports elections so LOOKS Progressive, the more wogs voting the better it looks. Christopher Hitchens' harrys place, Nick Cohen, Hillary Rodham Clinton and George packer basicly all share John Stuart Mill mindset such as Social Liberalism at home, but B52s for Mussies/niggers Abroad.Don't Underestimate it because right now in the U.S. there is no mainstream polical group calling for withdraw of all troops from iraq, just lots annoying bush bashing.IN dublin only 600 took part in this years anti-war domo,there were no young poeple leading it, just leftwing 50 somethings TDs and Senaters.In the europe the iraq war Generally viewed is a clash between the anglosaxon world (bush/Blair) and Francophone world (Chirac/Schroeder)even though it is nothing of the sort plus russia has been spreading "Freedom/liberty" in Chechnya . In britian 25% of "lablour movement" supports the iraq war, this faction calls its self the "prowar left" (harrys place/Nick Cohen) it does so in the loudest possible way on the internet/media.
The hyperlink above should allow us understand this polical mindset, it is a profile of John Stuart Mill.
