arisbe What the New Democrats object to is the Bush gang's outspokenness – its crude honesty, if you like – in stating its plans openly, and not from behind the usual veil or in the usual specious code of imperial liberalism and its "moral authority." New Democrats of Kerry's sort are all for the American empire; understandably, they would prefer that those words remained unsaid. "Progressive internationalism" is far more acceptable.
So Kerry will be elected, and the course of evil will be unchecked, at least in its international manifestation. Though the stupidity with which our present leaders conduct their policy may entail evils of its own. And there may be some hope that the juggernaut of domestic repression will slow somewhat.
If I had money, which I do not, I might be tempted to take my Irish passport and buy a home in the Netherlands Antilles. Or one of the smaller Greek islands.
