Entry: The Revolution and the Right Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_revolution_and_the_right#17944 Post contents: To Joe Populist: 1) yes, you are right: of course the US has never been imperialist. How naive of me! Interventions in the Philippines, Cuba, Central America, Vietnam, and Iraq were all guided by the purest of motives. And yes, of course Ron Paul is not confusing intervention with imperialism. Intervention is far worse, isn't it? 2) yes, you are right: there is a trade deficit which was forced on the American people, despite the fact that millions still shop at Wal-Mart for those cheap goods from China, courtesy of free trade. Perhaps they have been duped into shopping there. 3) yes, you are right: when neocons use terms like "unipolar moment," "new world order," or "hegemony," this has nothing to do with empire! 4) For the record, I do defend Israel's right to exist (as does Dr. Paul). I also defend the right of paranoid and moronic conspiracy-mongers with a victim's complex (usually the calling card of "populists") to contribute to takimag. Well, now I must get back to my seat at the star chambers of the IMF/World Bank etc. They don't like tardiness. Sent at: 2008 05 16
