Peace Keeping

But of course. Less of our own citizens to risk, see (this based on the assumption that America is God's Country and its people the Blessed Elect -- though some may doubt this construction).

Kipling is still the guide to the inner dynamix of the nu-imperialism: the reason he liked dividing humanity up into racially essential qualities and capabilities was that it is managerially effective (in this dispensation ,the Brits were top-dog delegators: but the handover was already in play; Rudyard K. went from being anti- to pro-American, married an American, and helped - via Churchill - spawn orgs like the English-Speaking Union, which sanctified the US as the upo-and-coming top-dog delegators).

Assumption here (I guess) being that UK = rubbish at hard-hat policing (cf loss of empire) and good at mediating (cf Sierra Leone recently). US currently considers itself GOOD at hard-hat policing, basically becuz the advance anti-war crit of Kosovo (that it wd turn into another endless balkan morass (cf world war one) did NOT emerge, and the critics then (mostly) opted for misleading or merely silly hindsight summaries.

(by "inner dynamics" i mean what nu-imperialism itself believes itself uncynically to be achieving, *not* an objective look at good and bad effects obv)
