Edward W. Said

[Barst]

[COLOR=Red][SIZE=3][FONT=Trebuchet MS]"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."[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]
