| Washington Post Managing Editor: "I don't think US should be the leader of the world" |
| 2005-03-13 |
| "...That is also a sort of colonial question. The world has gone through colonialism and imperialism. We have seen the danger and shortcomings of those systems. If we are heading into another period of imperialism where the US thinks itself as the leader of the area and its interest should prevail over all other interests of its neighbors and others, then I think the world will be in an unhappy period..." |

| #9 Great catch, Anony! The man says several pretty squirrely things, and I wonder if he will be called to account by the Blogosphere to explain himself. And I also wonder-- since this is obviously a translation back to English from Chinese-- whether Wapo has its own transcript of this conversation, and whether it will make it public..... |

| #8 He'd have been closer to the truth if he'd stopped after "think". |

| #7 Eh, the WaPo usually walks a more sober and realistic line than the NY & LA Times. I give them credit for introducing me to the Blogosphere (via Howie Kurtz' column) way back when it was only Instapundit, Daily Pundit, and Rantburg. I also temped in the WaPo public relations office in December 2001 and found everyone there to be exceptionally nice and all so very, very earnest. I would gladly work there if they asked me back. But I must say, I don't read it much anymore, now that I read blogs. :( |

| #6 I think we should celebrate the freedom of speech which allows the Ward Churchills and WP Editors to prove their hate for Amerikkka |

| #5 And which country or entity, pray tell us O learned Washington Post Editor, would you like to have lead the world? The Big Bad US, the UN, the EU, The People's Republic of China? Whom would you trust to make decisions respecting your life? Who would let you get away with all the BS that your fishwrap rag puts out under Bushitler? |

| #4 "We are seeing a decline only in paid subscriptions" says all you need to know about the Washington Post under the leadership of this beknighted ass. |

| #3 "The world image of US is so clearly linked to its foreign policy and particularly its policy toward Iraq and Middle East, say its support of Israel." Mark. No need to read any further. |

| #2 remember what happened when Yugoslavia's leader ceased to lead? Sometimes a leader is better tha chaos. |

| #1 Everything has its shortcomings. The issue is, was it an improvement over what prevailed before and unquestionably colonialism was. That roads, schools, healthcare and rule of law thing. |
