Marko:


> I'm not particularly interested in the purity or otherwise of the motives
> of Bush and Blair; they're probably a mixture of moral motives and
> self-interest, like those of the rest of us. Bush comes across to me as a
> less cynical and self-interested individual than Michael Moore, for
> example, but maybe that's just my bias... But whatever their motives, I'm
> glad the US and Britain liberated Western Europe from the Nazis in the
> 1940s; I'm glad they contained and overthrew the Soviet Union; and I'm
> glad they rescued the Kosovo Albanians in 1999. If that's all the result
> of selfish imperialist-capitalist interests; well then, long live selfish
> imperialist-capitalist interests !
