Some time ago news out of israel was stating, that some government official (rank?) had stated that "dead children can't grow up to become terrorists". And more recently a Knesset member stated that all children older than 4 years should be left to starve. It boggles my mind...this coming from supposedly an educated people.

Great essay, but I do question your identifying the British Empire with the horrible American one. Britain has become the lap dog of the U.S.; somewhat by design, I think. FDR’s “war aim” was the destruction of the Empire and snatching up pieces on the cheap. I cannot see the British Empire having the same evil, pernicious impact on humanity as the Yankee one.

But a small question about a great essay. Thank you.
