Max Boot


koan, once again I understand the moral position you are taking. I disagree with it but understand it. I think the morality is much more nuanced and difficult than the view you take.

But quoting a piece from Max Boot does not support your argument, at least given your past opinions. Boot is a George W Bush type of bringing democracy to Iraq and to Afghanistan with no nuance.

In the past I've read you as opposed to western imperialism. Boot would favor that form which flies under the flag of creating democratic states whether they want it or not.
