This is tied to our hostility to various triumphalist ideologies and armed doctrines and our critiques of nationalism, all of which have done more to justify dehumanizing other peoples than just about anything else.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.amconmag.com/larison/2008/12/01/breaking-the-rules/">over just the last twenty years the U.S. government has outdone pretty much every other state in waging such wars, at least if we’re talking about the sheer number of unprovoked military campaigns launched.  These are illegal and unjust acts, and they are just as illegal and unjust when our government does them as when they are committed by other states.  </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.amconmag.com/larison/2008/12/01/breaking-the-rules/">Washington has been responsible for more aggressive wars just during my lifetime (at least three) than Moscow.  That’s a rather troubling thought, isn’t it?</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/416365AE-2BDB-43C0-97DE-30980D37A475/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
