C'est la vie.
Roman model? That sounds frightening hahaI've also always maintained that imperialism should only be a phase that eventually gives way to equality between the state that was the target of imperialism and the one was pursuing imperialism (if the former state still exists). So that empire gives way to commonwealth.
I can see very few cases where this has happened unfortunately.

Roman model as in ex-soldiers populating parts of the province to act as a bulwark against rebellions. I would encourage intermarriage between with the local people as well along with other measures. As I said, idealistic and unrealistic in the current world.
Unfortunately, this is true. There were proposals to create an Imperial federation in place of colonialism among certain British figures. Unfortunately, the concept never gained much traction.

Typically yes, I'd agree. Not any Western leftists I'd bother to read, but I read polemics filled with this shit all the time, and it's tiring.Hell, Bernard Lewis at least knew of and acknowledged actual, debatable problems in Islam and their historical roots. Despite being another type of liberal that can't be trusted.
What do you know about Lewis? Reading an article of his at the moment in response to Said's criticisms.
