One detects a strong tendency among liberal imperialists and assorted self-designated "progressives" to think of their actions and thoughts as being above history...At the last stage of a dying empire, imperial advocates...are still gripped by the conviction that theirs is the highest stage of human achievement...This is shallow humanitarianism...a humanitarianism at the end of empire and as bankrupt as the state powers whose authority the humanitarians invoke.
