The Black Book of U.S. Imperialism: Ward Churchill's Roosting Chickens 
Todd Gitlin, Paul Berman and assorted intellectuals of the “decent left” have earned their keep arguing that anti-imperialism is nothing but an echo chamber of nihilism, oedipal rage and tacit support for whomever the governing class declares the enemy.

As the gate-keepers of acce...
