Come on...read the damned paragraph.
She says that our 'dumb' President Bush holds the minority view in world history to think the American US culture and democracy are worth saving.
She said nothing of the sort. Here it is again in case you read it too quickly for complete comprehension.
Americans -- at least really stupid Americans like George Bush -- believe the natural state of the world is to have individual self-determination, human rights, the rule of law and a robust democratic economy. On this view, most of the existing world and almost all of world history is a freakish aberration.
[Bush and other stupid Americans believe that countries like ours are the natural state of the world. And that most of the rest of the world and almost all of world history is a freakish abberation.]
In fact, the natural state of the world is Darfur. The freakish aberration is America and the rest of the Anglo-Saxon world.
[So Bush and those stupid Americans are getting it exactly backwards. Sorry]
To: caveat emptor
Wow....I read it three times before I went after you. I would have sworn she was giving him a left handed compliment by saying that he was stupid for thinking the rest of the world would enjoy our form of government and culture.
Oh well...thanks for pointing our my error.
