MAAAAAAAHHHHHROOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Next up, Bobo Brooks sums up Hegel in one sentence, but for now, let's just oversimplify other people smarter than me into a convenience bromide.

Blair’s decision to support the invasion of Iraq grew out of the essence of who he is. Over the past decade, he has emerged as the world’s leading anti-Huntingtonian. He has become one pole in a big debate. On one side are those, represented by Samuel Huntington of Harvard, who believe humanity is riven by deep cultural divides and we should be careful about interfering in one another’s business. On the other are those like Blair, who believe the process of globalization compels us to be interdependent, and that the world will flourish only if the international community enforces shared, universal values.


In this cockeyed summary, Blair, of course, equals his master Bush.

So, let me get this straight -- in order to bring about "shared, universal values" the ENFORCED part requires bombing the shit out of, bringing about chaos and civil war, and then hanging on forevah! while tens of thousands die?

Shorter Bobo:


BOO Samuel Huntington, HOORAY BEER!
