39. Give and take friendliness, eh?
That must have been why you implied that I was only posting to stroke my own ego.

My hang-up with this article is that it starts out with a flawed premise that "white male entitlement" is the basis for the Iraq invasion, and then applied this attitude to a whole group of people without paying heed to the many tens of millions of us that were against it from the beginning. Just as you said, domination can happen with any culture. But, it isn't the culture that leads to the domination, it's the inequity of resources, and the will of those with resources to use them to further enrich themselves.

The rich and powerful could give a shit about race, gender, or sexual preference. They just serve as a useful wedge to further their own interests.
