Progressive Empire (NATO: A Global KKK?)

The utter racism of this "rationale" could not be made more clearly.  The 
NATO of Clinton, Blair, Sonntag, Hitchens and Burford is a White 
Supremacist organization, pure and simple.  "Cross of Jesus" going on 
before, and all...

I mean, if a bunch of largely white suburbs in a typical US metropolis were 
to band together into a, say, "North Atlanta Security Organization", what 
would one invariably think?  (Come to think of it, that scenario is not so 
far-fetched...see what I mean? :-)

Or perhaps the Ku Klux Klan taken on a "progressive aspect" in our utterly 
novel, postmodern-ly times.

Nice article.
