Hopey Changey War
The gullibility of the hopey-changeys is understandable given the massive marketing campaign to characterize a Reaganite war-monger as a man of the people, but their continued support for US imperialism under the guise of humanitarian intervention suggests that they are either unable or unwilling to learn from their mistakes. In looking at the concept of humanitarian war-mongering as exercised by the United States, Jean Bricmont illuminates the illogic of unilateral belligerence as a substitute for international law. If the sole arbiter of national and international disputes is Wall Street and the Pentagon, then there is no need for the UN or foreign sovereigns other than to serve as proxies and false fronts for US corporations.
How this could remotely resemble anything close to a democratic system is baffling, but then, the hopey-changeys are not exactly deep thinkers.
