#5 And what did the colonialists ever do for the colonials? Except for laws, sewers, good roads, an end to slavery, the end of suttee, and the introduction of real medicine?

#6 Colonialism (at least the European variety) expired in the 60's with communist-backed Freedom Fighters sweeping the Europeans from Africa and Asia. So, forty years later, most of the colonial infrastructure has finally rundown and most of the countries have degenerated into third-world pigsties enlivened by endless internecine warfare with no one, certainly not impotent prigs like Mathews, to take up the "white man's burden."

#7 I wrote this jackass off as a treasonous scumbag - even by MSM standards - during the 1st battle of Fallujah. During his show ("Chris Matthews Show", not "Hardball"), he took a call from an NBC correspondent in Iraq, who reported that the Marines were finding the Fallujah assault to be difficult, and were taking heavy casualties.

As long as I live, I will never forget (or forgive) the expression on that bastard's face when he heard this...it was barely restrained glee. He was visibly quivering with joy at the thought that American servicemen were dying in droves.
