The central problem with the argument for the war in Iraq was not the particulars of the case regarding WMDs, Al Qaeda or even the supposed Iraqi threat to its neighbors, but that it took for granted that our government essentially has the right to shape and dominate the politics of other parts of the world and to use force to quash resistance to its efforts.   </p> <P>Bearing that in mind, several items on James’ internationalist agenda seem to me to have the potential to be quite calamitous in their own ways, and most of them partake of the same mistaken pursuit of hegemony.  </P></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/96AD6899-6BDA-4766-A365-9134EC979B90/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>
