     ...what do you think of the fashionable thesis regarding the current predicament, the contemplated police action against saddam hussein, and in general the unblushing unlimited hegemonic pretentions of the US, under the construction of the post-modern paradigm of negri & hardt? (...or pre-modern, dante's de monarchia, eh?)  ...habermas? maybe construed as the juridical (philosopher king) spirit, universal normativity, as globalized corporate capitalism, the material body of the new world order or "Empire"?

  >Matt,....implausible i'd say,...sharon/israel-lobby is lady macbeth in this piece, fervently believes in spilling arab blood and thinks to secure israel's manifest destiny by widening war quantum-wise,...they've sold bush-team on great clash-of-civ's adventure...re-assuring them with the old cannard that the arabs are too backward to ever unite,...as answer to all their problems

  There I go again foolishly believing militarists want peace...contradiction in terms.

  Regards,
