Juan Cole against a new wave of imperialism

He sounds like a bright, bright pink fellow.


I, too, oppose actual US imperialism and pretty much any degree of foreign meddling by the US short of that, but not at all for his sort of reasons.

His kind of lefty almost makes me puke.

His line on "capitalist economic imperialism" is not just pink but a vivid, fire-engine red.

The Nation was a fellow-traveling rag when it mattered and never dropped its propaganda style or lines when the Soviet empire collapsed.

At the time, it was a free lance - or worse - Soviet agent of anti-American influence on American public opinion.

All that has changed is that the Soviets are gone.
