Ward Churchill is right. Partly.

No sooner had Prof. Nancy Hopkins of MIT bounced up from her fainting couch, upon the prospect of yet another task force to investigate gender inequity in the darkly menacing groves of Larry Summers’ Harvard, than conservatives started swooning over Ward Churchill’s remarks to the effect that “little Eichmanns” in the twin towers on 9/11 had it coming.

“They formed a technocratic corps at the very heart of America’s global financial empire – the ‘mighty engine of profit’ to which the military dimension of U.S. policy has always been enslaved – and they did so both willingly and knowingly.”

It’s been that kind of winter.

We conservatives need to get up off our fainting couches too, and realize that Ward Churchill is right. Oh, not about his rude, crude argument ad Hitlerum, but the larger argument.

Let us speak truth to ourselves. The United States is a global empire that is taking over the world, and most conservatives are in favor of it.

Here’s how the American empire works.

I love this essay with its provocative title, it's one of the best I have read in ages. Be sure to read the whole thing, it's tremendous!
