Its suppositions are recognizable as those of self-appointed liberal elites everywhere: American power is bad; European multilateralism is good; organized religion is a weird vestige of unenlightened barbarism; atheism is rational man's highest intellectual achievement; Israel (especially Ariel Sharon) is evil; Palestinians (especially Yasser Arafat) are innocent victims; business is essentially corrupt, or at best simply boring; poverty is the result of government failure; economic success is the product of exploitation or crookedness. And so on.


Nicely formulated. I would add to the list, that while atheism is rational man's highest intellectual achievement, the religions of third-worlders (who are not supposed to be rational I guess) are treated with grave if condescending respect, esp. if Muslim.
