<...All of these victims may well have a distaste for "Western civilization and cultural values," but that is because they recognize that these include the ruthless imposition of a neoliberal regime that serves Western transnational corporate interests, along with a willingness to use unlimited force to achieve Western ends. This is genuine imperialism, sometimes using economic coercion alone, sometimes supplementing it with violence, but with many millions--perhaps even billions--of people "unworthy victims."

I don't know what the hell "neoliberal" means, and I'd bet five bucks the writer doesn't either, but when you stack up the supposed dead victims of U.S. corporations next to the dead victims of the totalitarian dictators and the totalitarian wannabes who are bitching about "Western civilization," I think you would see quite a difference. Check out this site, and do the counting yourself.

Any person who cannot see the difference between nations like America, England, Japan, and others with Western values; and nations like North Korea, the former Soviet Union, China, Cuba, and any number of third-world ratholes ruled by tinhorn dictators; is basically so totally disconnected with reality that it would be more productive to argue with a parakeet.

As I have pointed out before, I don't see people risking their lives to escape from Western nations.
