Entry: America: An Empire? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/america_an_empire#12818 Post contents: "Empire is not contrary to American principles. But American principles are some pretty nasty stuff." - Nergol We can only speculate as to what was in the heart of Bhutto's assassin as we don't at this point even know who he was. But overall, Nergol is correct about the attitude of Americans toward foreigners. It was perhaps best expressed by the quote attributed to some nameless Vietnam era military officer - "Inside every gook, there's an American struggling to get out." And as Nergol says, any foreigner who does not want to become an American by adopting American "values" (basically enlightenment liberal values) is deemed evil and deserving of being killed.
