"The motivations of agents" are only secondary or tertiary problems to consider, if they are problems at all. The primary question is the nature of the mode of production. Workers are exploited not because this or that capitalist has a bad motive. The same goes for imperialism. For all we know, Bush & Co. -- as well as most other imperialists, past and present -- may have admirable motives in their own minds. -- Yoshie
