interesting analysis. one way to square your and Rubin's different conclusions could be by thinking of different time-frames of action (and scales of action). Rubin, that is, argues that minor US actions in the short term are not going to have much effect, while you argue that major US actions over the long term might. Those two positions are not entirely contradictory, and if one did agree with both, the question might come down to "how important is this issue and is it worth major long-term changes in US policies?"

Btw, apparently the Doran article in the next issue comes to your kind of conclusion rather than Rubin's, on some similar points.

Also, you were the one who didn't like the Donnelly review of the Boot book a while back, right? Because he presented a distored view of the conflict in the Philippines a century ago? If so, what did you think of the "response" to that review by Gregory Bankoff, who made a number of the same points?
