think the neo-imperialists and their sympathisers are best seen as a symptom of
Anglo-America’s bizarre political culture of the previous two decades — a

themselves huge salaries and bonuses, and intellectuals — well, many of them
turn to justifying and vindicating this shameful state of affairs and are given
bully pulpits for this purpose at mainstream institutions like Harvard and the BBC.""
