Scratch the Left and Find Imperialism - The Perils of Abstract Morality on the International Stage http://axisoflogic.com/artman/publish/Article_62610.shtml

It is a wonder the Western left still have any credibility. How many times must it learn the same lesson? The British State and Western foreign policy operate on a plane devoid of morality. To apply moral logic to amoral situations is to fall into the honey trap of modern propaganda. A lion doesn’t eat a gazelle because it finds it morally justifiable, but for survival.The West does not operate in the global sphere for any other reason but to maintain the cycles that perpetuate their system; a system the Western left are supposed to be opposed to at root. Instead, once again, they have found themselves being the cheerleaders for empire; singing from its hymn sheet and even writing its slogans.
