Part of what is wrong with the view of American imperialism is that it is antithetical to our interests. We are better off when people are governing themselves.

In his own way the modernist becomes as irrelevant as the fundamentalist. The fundamentalist has something to say to his world, but he has lost the ability to say it. The modernist knows how to speak to his age, but he has nothing to say. ↗
