This is one of the best anti-Obama video's I have ever seen and it's based on fact by a Middle Eastern historian. Amazing. Pass this around. Rick Santorum or Newt Gingrich should play this video before each and every speech. And then give a solid reason why they would be 50% times better than Obama. And list some of the policy makers they will hire and why. They would defeat Obama by a landslide.
There must be factory where pseudo intellectuals/propagandists/paper tigers like Ferguson and Hitchens are made. If the people of Egypt want the Brotherhood then that is democracy at work. Gimps like Ferguson don't have the guts to say the truth which is it is only democracy if it suits America's needs/agenda. Democracy also displayed itself in Gaza and well we know what the reaction was. Ferguson is a sad pitiful tool for the system, nothing more.
@blowersho you're absolutely right, it will be completely democratic, the muslim brotherhood are just like western cultures with democracy. western countries tend to have 1 man, 1 vote (once every few years); Egypt will be much like Iran having had their 1 man, 1 vote, once....
furthermore, im hearing plenty of democratic things happening in egypt too, like christians being stoned to death or evicted off their properties by the military... ah yes, so much like America
@blowersho I haven't heard anything like that. He said secular democracy he didn't just say "democracy". It's all based on false assumption that US should care about surroundings of Israel.
Pausing the video at around the 7:14 mark is hiarious. Mika is looking away trying to differ back to Scarborough, Halperin is checking his blackberry, Capeheart is looking around the table to see if anyone else is pissed, Geist is looking away..... like they dont know what just hit them. Good stuff.
TNWS, when ever this conversation comes up on any of the news websites and the liberals start espousing the brilliance of the US foreign policy/obama. i simply copy/paste this on their comments section. Ferguson has forgotten more than clinton or obama will ever know. thanks for posting
If there is an intense political conversation going on she tries her best to stay out, by looking at the paper or her blackberry, until Joe brings her in, just to cutt her off,lmao, for someone who goes around writing books about a womans worth, it is very funny to see her getting handled by Joe everyday,just acting like a good little girl on set great role model for woman there Mika! Maybe this is why Williams College didn't want you,and the fact you scored low on your SAT shows!
This guy is just a brilliant professor! What is funny is Mika thinking she has a got you question and it blows up on her face, priceless! I have no idea what this woman brings to this show other then reading the daily news, she can't hold or start a conversation period, she is a news woman nothing more, someone Scarborough fought to make his sidekick, but not qualified by any stretch to be there, just watch any conversation all she does is faces and stupid comments
I thoroughly enjoyed how Ferguson factually pointed out that Mika's belvoved prez is a complete foreign policy dolt surrounded by same. The look on their faces was priceless. They really do believe that the world shares the same hero-worship for all things Obama that they do. He's a speech giving PR hack with a telepromter.
You make radicals when you install puppet rulers over people, and support military dictatorships, and regimes,that suppress a true democratic republic, with officials that torture, lock up and suppress any real dissent or real peaceful political opposition.
Well this didn't take very long. Tonight the Egyptians attacked the Israeli embassy in Cairo. They are currently destroying everything around the embassy, but can't breach it, not yet. I think that Friday is HIllary's day to state the US position, while the weekend defaults to Obama. I'm not sure who is covering Monday. I'm glad we have a community organizer in charge of our country and foreign policy. They are really up on these things. "We never saw it coming" will be the next excuse.
I regard Mr. Ferguson as a great scholar and agree with his view on current affairs in Egypt. However in case of Czechoslovakia all you had to do was to sit on your asses until the SSSR economic collapse caused change of it's policy toward eastern European satelites from Brežněv's to Andropov's doctrine...
man dude,you have like this creepy hatred/obsession with Mika lol you go around making negative comments about her. Everyone else is discussing Ferguson;Chomsky;Obama etc. and you're focused on the news reader?...wow lol
It's very interesting to see how uncomfortable Ferguson made all the pundits feel. They don't seem capable of handling/dealing with the truth if it goes against the administration or the mass media presumptions. They support Obama so anyone who doesn't fall in line with that presumption seems to scare them.
Anyone who knows who or what the Muslim Brotherhood are will tell you that Niall Ferguson is inept and incapable of understanding internal Egyptian politics.
I LOVE this video. Ferguson NAILS the failures of Obama, his administraton and the absence of any clue of global affairs. Radical Islam is alive, well, and burgeoning since Obama has been courting Islam as "peaceful" and democratic. It is neither since it cannot be separated from shariah law. This has been a green light for Islamists, consequently moderate Muslims are targets by the fundamentalists who slaughter them. This is all a corollary from having Obama as POTUS. DISASTER.
Niall Ferguson NAILS Obama's total incompetence on foreign affairs. The Muslim Brotherhood has a 100 year plan for North America, called, the Project. There is nothing moderate or democratic about the Muslim Brotherhood, and Niall Ferguson is 100% correct. We blew it with Carter and his failure to support the Shah of Iran, and we ended up with the Ayatollah and Mullahs in power. Egypt very well may fall to the MB, and if it does, it will be a tragedy.
Niall Ferguson doesn't seem to know a lot about Egyptian internal politics, let alone the revolution. The Muslim Brotherhood is oft-quoted as being the most structured opposition group. Clearly that's not the case, since the organization couldn't hold one decent rally in support of its cause in 30 years the way Wael Ghonim had done in a matter of weeks. Furthermore, this non-sense about the MB attempting to establishing a caliphate is a myth promoted by Islamophobes like his ex-partner Ayan Ali.
Clear from this interview that Prof Ferguson is much, much more intelligent than those interviewing him. As for Chomsky Vs Ferguson, Ferguson by a mile. Chomsky's Marxist nonsense went down with the Berlin Wall.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I have mixed views or Prof Ferguson, and here what he says is hard to argue with, but I don't think him schooling some news castors is anything to get excited about. Chomsky would school Ferguson on pretty much any issue of foreign policy, in my opinion.
Haha. I heard he might run for US president? Not that democracy should be used for fun, bit I'd consider emmigrating and applying for US citizenship just to vote for him, purely for a laugh.
@dynamitefan8 Noam Chomsky lived in a world where "popular marxist uprisings" somehow occurred at the exact same time 3rd world nations received shinny new T-55 tanks and Ak-47s. Also puzzling is how all this occurred at the same time political opponents and groups who wanted a more western style of governance wound up dead in ditches. Very odd indeed
If all these libs are so smart, why doesn't anyone argue with him? Because they know better and they also realize he is correct. Mika Brzezinski shows her over the top ignorance by getting in her last words....."I still think it went really well". Did she actually listen to anything that was said? I'm sure they're real anxious to get him back on the show. They haven't had their asses handed to them like that in a long, long time. Niall Ferguson is brilliant.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Niall Ferguson is an absolute idiot. He should resign as he has no clue. Egypt is a great example of a country having a revolution which is successful...what does Ferguson prefer? Mubarak for ever? He rants and talks incessantly but there is little substance in what he says. We have to proof now and he should apologise. I feel sorry for those students in Harvard who are taught by this lunatic!
@TheMelani50 You think there is proof the Egyptian revolution was successful? It is way too early to proclaim success for the people of Egypt. Lets review the situation in a year and we can begin to draw some conclusions... Ferguson is brilliant and there is no need to apologize.
@TheNewWaveSlave Ferguson is a Bush apologist. His idea of history is governed by his unashamed support of imperialism - the very imperialism which ruled your country, the US. He is an unashamed apologist for views that are elitist and divisive. He may appear to be "brilliant" because of his credentials and his academic standing, but that does not make him right. His ability to rant and claim knowledge of a spurious vision of history, does not make his vision a correct one.
Very good point. Ferguson points out very early on that the stability of the country relies much on the army. And it is precisely because of the ties that the Muslim Brotherhood has with the army that it is gaining political support (as opposed to the Secular Youth).
I don't consider the restoration of the caliphate as well as the imposition of Sharia on believers (including the Christian minority) and non-believers alike to be a success. It would be an unbelievable disaster.
@TheMelani50 And you must be a genius ..... Obama is a disgrace, he has no backbone, he is the "Chicken in Chief" and as Mr. Ferguson points out it is way to early to know what is going to happen in Egypt. Now Obama is also involved in Libya with the United Nations and the Arab League running the show.
@panhandlepatriots I am more of a genius than that bogus prof Ferguson. He is here now in the UK promoting his latest joke of a book, and is making an utter fool of himself in the media. Here in the UK people are not as easily impressed by a Scottish accent and a few credentials after a name. We listen to reason and scrutinise it no matter who is talking. You are blinded by extreme right-wing neo-con supporters like Ferguson, and any form of extremism is dangerous.
@TheMelani50 Notice not a shred of reason or scrutiny in your little screed. Wow you can call people names and use inuendos. Some genius! Or would that be every other third grader. You can't even seem to get the definition of neoconservative straight. What are the results of your grand enquiry into Ferguson's ideas?
I mean besides those you get from huffing your uncle's dirty thongs.
@0spiker "huffing your uncle's dirty thongs." is that some kind of American expression? You've lost me there mate. Ok this what your hero argues: that the First World War had not been worth Britain fighting - Germany should have been allowed a mainland European empire. His views on the US and Iraq are gung-ho: the problem with American "empire", he says, is that Washington doesn't throw its weight about enough. It should occupy Iraq for 40 years.
@TheMelani50 Ferguson’s rationale for empire ignores non-Western achievement and only seeks to justify the colonial enterprise. This has implications for contemporary world politics as Ferguson celebrates British imperial past, he recommends that the US embraces its role as inheritor of that imperial power. He is fond of a counterfactual methodology. He seeks to bring out the benefits of imperialism without dealing with the very basic issue of the removal of freedom and self-determination.
@0spiker From arguing that the Arab revolutions should be opposed because they are driven by illiterate masses to issuing threats about a wave of testosterone-fueled Chinese and Indian youths descending upon the West (“Lock up your daughters” is the exact quote), Ferguson has become a radical neo-conservative whose public views are becoming, to my mind at least, increasingly uncivil and dangerous.
@0spiker Ferguson is the last colonial official standing, a man calling for the attitudes of the British Empire to be revived in a world for so long now without it. The logic of economic and strategic interests that leads people of a certain political bent to think this way, regardless of what the balance of power may be at this moment, is still there. Recognizing these interests and the assumptions that produce or sustain them is the first step to arguing against them, if we think it important.
@0spiker Ferguson is one of the scribes who helped globalize and legitimize the neo-cons’ ideas. Since 9/11, Ferguson’s books on empire have become airport bestsellers, and he’s gone from Oxford to NYU to Harvard. Like the Oxford chap that he is, Ferguson took on the role of tutor: it’s not that imperialism is bad, he advised, it’s just that you Americans didn’t perfect it the way we Brits did.
@0spiker Regular Egyptians organized themselves on Facebook and twitter and took over their city’s square. For 18 days they stood their ground, peaceful and determined. Until Mubarak, who had ruled them for 30 years, left. It wasn’t the spectre of “a democratic Iraq” or the spark of American missiles that triggered the people’s revolution in the Arab world. They did it on their own - an Arab democracy tsunami and it didn’t have a Made in the USA label on it. Ferguson finds this distasteful!
@TheMelani50 Yes "Egyptians organized themselves on Facebook and twitter and took over their city’s square. For 18 days they stood their ground, peaceful and determined. Until Mubarak, who had ruled them for 30 years, left. " Finally you make a reasonable observation before returning to your febrile spasms: "an Arab democracy tsunami " So Mubarek was the only thing standing in the way of democratization? And we will now see the Egyptian army split off into Jeffersons and Madisons?
@0spiker No, Mubarek was not the only one standing in the way of democratization. The West who kept him there, aided him and other like him. But you're so deep in your own "feces" you can't see beyond it!
@0spiker While many progressives criticized Obama for being too soft in his support for the democracy movements in Tunisia and Egypt, the neo-cons were furious that he was on the phone telling their closest ally Husni to pack up and head out. Husni was supposed to pretend to democratize despite the regional threats posed by Iran and the internal dangers of Islamist. The neo-cons were to pick and chose which countries in the region should be subjects of their “freedom agenda.”
@TheMelani50 Furious neocons? Suspected neo-con, Bill Kristol, speaking on Fox News said that "Obama ended-up in the right place." That man should calm down and watch his languge! This is what you call evidence? Working yourself into a lather. is not evidence of anything other than your febrile tempermant.
Do I really need to wade through the rest of the feces sp? (see Miriam Webster rather than a dictionary from the middle ages) Husni? Really!? More genius, eh?
@0spiker Well any person who watches Faux News and can't spell, is not worth debating with. You've lost the plot completely. Your arguments are so baseless and your tone is so defensive, you don't have the ability to debate rationally or logically. Goodbye and have a nice neo-con life!
@0spiker So, if you would like more "shreds" of evidence, then I could fill this whole forum of how I think that Ferguson is an idiot and a dangerous one at that. I call those I know something about "names and innuendos" and, unlike you, I don't get personal with people who post their views on here. Have a nice day!
@TheMelani50 Just one shred would be do. Why would you call someone an "innuendo" another
example of your brilliance? Explain how describing Ferguson as an idiot is not getting personal? Your entire post was just that . Indeed, a request for any evidence is met by " I could fill this whole forum of how I think that Ferguson is an idiot" Wonderful that you can toss that much feces around; yet that is not evidence (except of your mental health) Do you even know what the word furious means?
@0spiker So, in your infinite wisdom and ability to discern what is sensible commentary from "faeces" (which you spelled wrong) you have concentrated on my last comment, completely omitting my previous explanations, which you clearly do not have the intellectual capability of comprehending. Keep spouting your inane and bilious insults on me personally and keep ignoring the issues raised, as this is the only level you are able to reach. I am not interested in the word furious. I prefer amused:)
@0spiker "Indeed, a request for any evidence is met by..."
Why don't you read the 6 posts above for "evidence", then you may have something else to say other than insult me personally, questioning my mental health and talking about faeces...and becoming furious for no particular reason other than because you like to. If I use abuse against Ferguson, it is because I have listened to him enough times, and read his work and know that he is an idiot. How well do you know me?
@TheMelani50 Furious? ROTFL. Is this all you've got? And no one here was talking about "faeces" whatever that is. "How well do you know me?" Your'e a dime a dozen. You're a perfect clone of every liberal(which is about 98%) in existence. So yes, I know you quite well. At least as much as you can claim to know Ferguson.
@0spiker the English language is rich and is born in the UK...not America. WE the English spell it faeces. Put that in your pipe and smoke it! Neo-con.
@TheMelani50 Born there matured elsewhere. I didn't accuse you of being a liberal; although I did OBSERVE that you are "a perfect clone of every liberal...." Hating England's liberal party doesn't prove you're not a liberal. It does demonstrate that yo're a foolish little troll with potty problems. Most notably your refusal to pull your head out of your own ass in the mistaken belief that the air is cleaner up there as you inhale deeply and jin up your next flatulant fit of a fairy tale.
@0spiker Shut up. You bore me and have not an iota of a clue about what you're talking about. Just keep spouting your ignorant hate and abuse randomly at people who happen to disagree with your foolish point of you. Perhaps you are Ferguson himself, or a clone of the many empty-headed neo-cons he writes for. Perhaps he pays you to spout your fascist hate on here. Just got lost and leave me alone. I have nothing more to say to you!
@0spiker As for accusing me of being a "liberal"..I actually hate the liberal party intensely and see how they have betrayed my country. So, NO, you do not know me at all, but talk presumptuously, and ignorantly, as you have done all along here. Ferguson is most definitely a first class idiot, and you, my friend, are a close second!
@TheMelani50 I have plenty to say "other than insult" you. Live by the sword die by the sword, poopypants. I don't need to question your mental health since its so ostentatiously on display here. Ted Kaczynski called and wants to "why they haven't locked up that crazy sonofabitch, TheMelani50 yet" And was wondering if you would let him know which kind of paint chips your eating.
Geesh say what you like but Niall Ferguson was a first class graduate from Oxford in history on Colonialism, Economics and imperialism. He also holds a masters degree in Business. He is Laurance A. Tisch professor at Harvard in both business and history. I honestly think very few people are in the same league as Niall when it comes to smarts.
@Afrikaner007 Well this is a Nazi, and he is highly qualified too but how? Franz Six attended the University of Heidelberg to study sociology and politics Graduated with a Doctor in philosophy. Earned the highest degree of Dr.phil. Taught at the University of Königsberg where he took up the position of Press Director for the German Student's Association. Became chair for Foreign Political Science at the University of Berlin and was its first Dean of the faculty. Then proceeded to gas the Jews!
This is why it is extremely hard to debate with him unless you have extraordinary knowledge as well as brilliance in debating skill and intellect which obviously none of them have. He was correct on every point and the youth contributed greatly to presidents Obama’s victory the youth believed in some form of change it just shows you how naive the youth are.
shut-up, listen and learn! everyone on the panel are like deer in headlights after Ferguson is finished. all of them put together could not save imam obama on this one. maybe her blind and dumbass could ask Lara Login on how well it went in egypt.
We are seeing a global religious re-ordering and there will be a great period of 'adjustment'. It will NOT be pretty. The two value systems are at odds with each other. In the name of God, there will be Blood in the Streets. In the name of 'political correctness', we will plant the seeds of 'political chaos'. Do we still have enough time to stop it?
This has been tearing up FaceBook! WE LOVE it! The journalists don't have a clue about Islam or the evil nature of the Muslim Brotherhood, every time they try to circle the wagons around Obama, Ferguson shuts them down with FACTS! I loved how he said Obama's words will come back to haunt him on Islam being a religion of Peace. Tell that to our US German soliders that were just shot by a Muslim scraming ALLAH AKBAR and then went on his shooting rampage.
@LIILMRSLM Forget the past and Bush. Better pay attention to what is going on now. Look at the changes since Obama took over not only here but world wide.They have made it plain they are here to make the United States all Islam and under sharia law. We will have no freedom or constitution. Most of us will end up murdered.
They all looked like scared children as Niall pulled the wool from over their eyes. They love Obama so much it's obvious that they believe he can do no wrong. How scary it is to see so-called journolists sitting there gobsmacked when told that their hero is an empty suit by someone who actually knows what he is talking about.
Obama is a disaster and needs to lose in 2012. If we can even make it that far.
@TheNewWaveSlave That is what sucks about American politics, people are for the person rather than the policies. If you cannot objectively critique your candidate you have no business voting, in my opinion. But I don't vote because I think politics is disgusting.
Best part had to be when they asked him to name 'stars that would come from the administration', and you could hear them trying to restrain themselves after he said 'none'.
"If we don't have a plan to build a secular democracy in Egypt, it's not gonna happen."
Pretty much all of my disagreement with Niall's position can be summarized in this sentence. Ultimately EGYPT is responsible for building their own new regime, not us. Ferguson seems to have an inflated view of the United States' ability to play master puppeteer.
USEFUL IDIOTS on the left, Rome is burning and they are willing to run through the fire with gasoline underpants. You can pretty much believe the exact opposite of what the left says and you'll be as close to the truth as possible
The historical irony is that Niall Ferguson is having this exchange with the daugher of Zbigniew Brzezinski, the man who did so much to craft the craven foreign-policy positions of then-President Jimmy Carter.
LOL LOL! Look at how flabbergasted these shills for the left are! I love their glum faces at the end! Seriously could these people be any more ridiculous? This man presents his arguments and all they can do is grimace and act condescending because someone dared criticize the "leader". And their only reply is" well I think it went pretty darn well" Brilliant. There really is reality and a liberal culture and this shows how they are 2 different things.
lol too funny. I love the end line mika gives.... "well we'll just ask my dad about that tomorrow." .... Oh and her eveidence in the beginin as to why she thinks it went so well.." looking at the pictures of peace in the streets" Could some one please get her a picture book of what happens to a woman when she is said to be unfaithful in egypt. 67% of the egyptian people believe in stoning her, or how about a picture of punishment for turning from islam. 87% say it should be death. ....stupid
lol how is he an idiot. His points were all true and well stated. Islam isn't the problem its the muslim brotherhoods tendancy to murder those that don't agree with them. That is a problem.
@TheNewWaveSlave if the muslim brotherhood is the problem than so is israel regime. If the people decide to vote for muslim brotherhood who are you to deny them the leadership they deserve. This man is another one of israel cock suckers.
@kvermaa I could see where you were starting to make a point, and then you ruined it by the last sentence. No need for me to add a comment when @sarahejryan made the point so well. You couldn't think of anything worthwhile to say so you resorted to name calling.
@kvermaaI would seek to deny them the right to that leadership for fear of where it would go. Much like I would deny Germany the leadership of hitler even though they chose to follow him and he was at least for the most part elected. It isn't their beliefs I have a problem with, it is their human rights violations:using children in combat, abuse of women, stoning those than turn from the faith of those in power, denial of civil liberties. No one choses that, nor should any one have the right to.
@sarahejryan you talk of human rights violations was it not a human right violation to go to iraq and murder innocent children and women what about afghanistan drone killing children and women and gaza which has been occupied by israel which has left millions of people as homeless and refugees dont talk to me about human rights. You seek to give democracy to people yet your own government supports these dictators and women stoning that you fear so much.
@kvermaa I don't believe that we murdered innocent children there, I have never seen any proof of that. I think the US was wrong to support the dictators and that is why so many people hate us around the world. We say we stand for democracy yet we support the most evil dictators and ignore their people's cries for help. However to say because our nation has done that it is ok to murder men, women, and children with no trial, I can't see that. that doesn't make their extreme religion ok.
@LIILMRSLM The problem is that they aren't chosing a religion or a party. they are chosing a radical group that seeks to deprive others of their choices and their rights as human beings. I have a problem with the abuse of women and children by any group american or other wise. I also do not suffer from the desire to be politically correct, so I do not fear challenging an persons or groups right to abuse those that can't defend themselves simply because they say it is their culture.It is not ok
One thing: Mubarak was put their by the Americans. Americans don't want democracy, they want dictator puppets who they can stab in the back like Saddam Hussein who was trained in the US.
"whereas his grand strategy is 'I'm not George W. Bush, love me'"

It's very interesting to see how uncomfortable Ferguson made all the pundits feel. They don't seem capable of handling/dealing with the truth if it goes against the administration or the mass media presumptions. They support Obama so anyone who doesn't fall in line with that presumption seems to scare them.

I LOVE this video. Ferguson NAILS the failures of Obama, his administraton and the absence of any clue of global affairs. Radical Islam is alive, well, and burgeoning since Obama has been courting Islam as "peaceful" and democratic. It is neither since it cannot be separated from shariah law. This has been a green light for Islamists, consequently moderate Muslims are targets by the fundamentalists who slaughter them. This is all a corollary from having Obama as POTUS. DISASTER.

Niall Ferguson NAILS Obama's total incompetence on foreign affairs. The Muslim Brotherhood has a 100 year plan for North America, called, the Project. There is nothing moderate or democratic about the Muslim Brotherhood, and Niall Ferguson is 100% correct. We blew it with Carter and his failure to support the Shah of Iran, and we ended up with the Ayatollah and Mullahs in power. Egypt very well may fall to the MB, and if it does, it will be a tragedy.
esp0661 10 months ago
Niall Ferguson doesn't seem to know a lot about Egyptian internal politics, let alone the revolution. The Muslim Brotherhood is oft-quoted as being the most structured opposition group. Clearly that's not the case, since the organization couldn't hold one decent rally in support of its cause in 30 years the way Wael Ghonim had done in a matter of weeks. Furthermore, this non-sense about the MB attempting to establishing a caliphate is a myth promoted by Islamophobes like his ex-partner Ayan Ali.

@TheNewWaveSlave Ferguson is a Bush apologist. His idea of history is governed by his unashamed support of imperialism - the very imperialism which ruled your country, the US. He is an unashamed apologist for views that are elitist and divisive. He may appear to be "brilliant" because of his credentials and his academic standing, but that does not make him right. His ability to rant and claim knowledge of a spurious vision of history, does not make his vision a correct one.
TheMelani50 11 months ago
@TheNewWaveSlave
Very good point. Ferguson points out very early on that the stability of the country relies much on the army. And it is precisely because of the ties that the Muslim Brotherhood has with the army that it is gaining political support (as opposed to the Secular Youth).
I don't consider the restoration of the caliphate as well as the imposition of Sharia on believers (including the Christian minority) and non-believers alike to be a success. It would be an unbelievable disaster.

@0spiker "huffing your uncle's dirty thongs." is that some kind of American expression? You've lost me there mate. Ok this what your hero argues: that the First World War had not been worth Britain fighting - Germany should have been allowed a mainland European empire. His views on the US and Iraq are gung-ho: the problem with American "empire", he says, is that Washington doesn't throw its weight about enough. It should occupy Iraq for 40 years.
Now, instead of getting personal, think!
TheMelani50 11 months ago
@TheMelani50 Ferguson’s rationale for empire ignores non-Western achievement and only seeks to justify the colonial enterprise. This has implications for contemporary world politics as Ferguson celebrates British imperial past, he recommends that the US embraces its role as inheritor of that imperial power. He is fond of a counterfactual methodology. He seeks to bring out the benefits of imperialism without dealing with the very basic issue of the removal of freedom and self-determination.
TheMelani50 11 months ago
@0spiker From arguing that the Arab revolutions should be opposed because they are driven by illiterate masses to issuing threats about a wave of testosterone-fueled Chinese and Indian youths descending upon the West (“Lock up your daughters” is the exact quote), Ferguson has become a radical neo-conservative whose public views are becoming, to my mind at least, increasingly uncivil and dangerous.
TheMelani50 11 months ago
@0spiker Ferguson is the last colonial official standing, a man calling for the attitudes of the British Empire to be revived in a world for so long now without it. The logic of economic and strategic interests that leads people of a certain political bent to think this way, regardless of what the balance of power may be at this moment, is still there. Recognizing these interests and the assumptions that produce or sustain them is the first step to arguing against them, if we think it important.
TheMelani50 11 months ago
@0spiker Ferguson is one of the scribes who helped globalize and legitimize the neo-cons’ ideas. Since 9/11, Ferguson’s books on empire have become airport bestsellers, and he’s gone from Oxford to NYU to Harvard. Like the Oxford chap that he is, Ferguson took on the role of tutor: it’s not that imperialism is bad, he advised, it’s just that you Americans didn’t perfect it the way we Brits did.

@0spiker Regular Egyptians organized themselves on Facebook and twitter and took over their city’s square. For 18 days they stood their ground, peaceful and determined. Until Mubarak, who had ruled them for 30 years, left. It wasn’t the spectre of “a democratic Iraq” or the spark of American missiles that triggered the people’s revolution in the Arab world. They did it on their own - an Arab democracy tsunami and it didn’t have a Made in the USA label on it. Ferguson finds this distasteful!

@TheMelani50 Yes "Egyptians organized themselves on Facebook and twitter and took over their city’s square. For 18 days they stood their ground, peaceful and determined.

@0spiker While many progressives criticized Obama for being too soft in his support for the democracy movements in Tunisia and Egypt, the neo-cons were furious that he was on the phone telling their closest ally Husni to pack up and head out.
