Despite voluminous hemming and hawing after Chirac's UN speech (before the invasion) among the punditocracy, few actually heard what he was talking about. He was talking about immanent determinations of justice; he was talking about the end of feudal capitalism, withg its a priori and transcendent standards. We should be very clear that the US is almost completely in the dark about the ethical principles and philosophical standpoints that informed the world rejection of the Iraq war, choosing instead to hide behind the sacchrine ethics of an obsolete version of liberation theology. The US is not on the cutting edge. It is a feudal state - and it has no future unless it changes, and that damn quick.
