You're making enormous assumptions in your citicisms.
I had hoped that my original post made clear my judgment regarding the current administration, namely, that its reign has been catastrophic, primarily in the realm of foreign policy, but also in its inadequate response to the current banking/finance crisis.
The point of the post was that Wright was neither properly defining the issues or their causes, and surely did not offer any particular solutions.
The fact that I consider myself (and you)to have been lucky enough to enjoy the benefits of Western culture and prefer said culture to the alternative represented by Al-Qaeda, does not mean I harbor the "America uber alles" view you impute to me.
Again, I thought my post clearly stated that the US--like all other nations--has both historical and current behaviors that I find both reprehensible and unnecessary.
Finally, I hardly think Barack Obama shares Wright's worldview, nor do any of the other serious candidates.
I apoligize if my original post gave you the wrong impression of what I was trying to convey,...that's my fault.
