Eric: Yes, you do. It's that Catholic Worker's thing you've got going. Even though it's incredibly naive in its assumptions and conclusions, I respect your right to hold that view. You put everything through your moral filter first. Good for you.
Mike: My point, I think is that the world is reaping the harvest of European colonialism and the US's imperialistic foreign policy of the past 60 years.
