To be honest with you, I think it's only fair. There is nothing ethical about
imperialism.
Remember what the Bush skeptics say about the "small terrorists" and the "big
terrorists", who cannot identity themselves and scrutinise self misdeeds. It's
that same as the story about the 'pirate' in the dingy and the big colossal
boat filled with rich people... it all comes back to hypocrisy and
selfishness. But again, I'm drifting to off topic..
