“all for the sake of disarming a country with no WMDs.”

In a computer game I never finished, Privateer II: The Darkening, one the groups you scuffle with are quasi-religious fanatics who hate what technology has done to humanity. So they use space ships and laser weapons to attempt to destroy civilization as it spreads from planet to planet. The irony is that they decry the same technology they use to destroy it.

Similarly, Environmental Activists seem to decry the same infrastructure that created their ability to activists.

I think – upon reflection – this whole pattern of behavior is an extension of Goldberg’s recent article on the Children of Capitalism. Spoiled, they are.
