Benign Or Altruistic Empires
Benign or altruistic empires
Consider the following quote and place your thoughts:
Every single empire in its official discourse has said that it is not like all the others, that its circumstances are special, that it has a mission to enlighten, civilize, bring order and democracy, and that it uses force only as a last resort. And, sadder still, there always is a chorus of willing intellectuals to say calming words about benign or altruistic empires.
Edward W. Said - "Orientalism 25 Years Later," Counterpunch.org website, 4 August 2003.
