Thank you, my foolish friends in the West (opinion article in THE TIMES)

The common element of radical Third Worldism is an obsession with American power, as though the US were so intrinsically evil that any enemy of the US must be our friend...
The left has a proud tradition of defending political freedoms, at home and abroad. But this tradition is in danger of being lost when western intellectuals indulge in power worship. Applause for autocrats undermines the morale of people who insist on fighting for their freedoms...

I do like and agree with (much of) this article.
You don't like it? It may be you who is meant.
