No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."

I've found that culture, however useful and important, is neither the foundation nor the ceiling of human experience, even if it is commonly used for walls.
I really consider President and Mrs. Mubarak to be friends of my family. So I hope to see him often here in Egypt and in the United States. —Hillary Clinton
So when the Chinese held a "secret meeting" without inviting Obama was that all staged to make it seem they were not in cahoots? Or am I getting my meetings mixed up..
ReplyDeleteI figured the pertinent cables would be up at Wikileaks by today so you could look up and answer questions from them, but they're not there yet. Slackers.... But if you recall, there were a couple million different meetings going on and Obama blew in and kicked people out of some of them. I think he just came in and undid all the planning that had taken place between everyone, except the part where they already had an agreement between first world nations that was going to leave out the rest of the world. Until the actual cables are up, the take-away from this is just that we were indeed fucking with the process in a pretty big way.
ReplyDeleteActually, the system for getting straight to the cables you want is starting to break down at Wikileaks, so maybe they're under attack again, or just suffering from the rush and pressure and loss of their boss.
