They should come out as imperialist and proud of it

There is a progressive tradition of support for colonialism, which the
Euston manifesto group could champion

Whatever else the Iraq enterprise and the supposed attempt to
democratise the Middle East have done, they have produced some unlikely
alliances, and begun some fascinating new disputes. The question of
imperialism has been raised again, though in a way that is
uncomfortable on more than one side politically, as the recently
promulgated Euston manifesto suggests.
The Iraq war has divided opinion, but not just on conventional
left-right lines. It was largely opposed here by the left, but also by
a number of former Tory cabinet ministers (not to say more ordinary
Conservatives than Labour voters), and in America not only by liberals
and radicals but by veteran conservatives such as Peter Viereck and
William Buckley.
