Just curious about the classification system here, since I thought this was
pretty much my argument throughout the Kosovo intervention. Chris and I no
doubt have differences in interpretation and policy, but we agree on the
general issue that US policy can be both imperialistic and, in certain
circumstances, more progressive by its intervention than by its absence.
