Above all else, stop the Americans..

It's not easy to be an enlightened liberal internationalist these days.

An enlightened liberal internationalist wants to send troops to the Sudanese region of Darfur to protect a majority Muslim population against murderous Islamic extremist militias.

On the other hand, he or she must oppose keeping troops in Iraq to protect a majority Muslim population against murderous Islamic extremist militias.

The enlightened liberal internationalist wants to use U.S. airpower to stop Osama bin Laden's allies in Khartoum from committing terrorist atrocities.

On the other hand, he or she must condemn the use of U.S. airpower to stop Osama bin Laden's allies in Iraq from committing terrorist atrocities....

The whole "liberal internationalist" game was a fraud from the beginning. It was invented because WWI, and more decisively WWII, made it obvious that the future of the world was Pax Americana, and the likely triumph of our ideas of freedom and free enterprise. It was seized upon by socialists, because their own ideas have failed every time they have been tried, and the "internationalist" hoax was another way to impose them on people who would never vote for them, or, if they did, would repent of it bitterly.

400,000 people have died while the world looked for "negotiations" or international institutions to save them. The genocide should have been stopped quickly by the United States of America, backed up by a coalition of the willing. But that was impossible, because Bush had already expended all of his political capital saving Iraq and Afghanistan. When leftists and fake pacifists threw all their strength into hindering Bush, they were not only trying to feed Iraqis and Afghans into the shredders of cruel tyrannies, they were also killing hundreds-of-thousands of human beings in Sudan and Darfur.

Oh well, it's the job of pacifists to kill people and cause wars.
