Since the natives in their blindness never seem to understand the
beneficence of our intentions, we must, reluctantly, continue to slaughter

The Republican National Convention announced in 1990—a bit
prematurely—that “the American people have conducted and in victory
concluded a war for liberty and human rights.” Meanwhile a leading
sociologist, Franklin Henry Giddings, devised the useful concept of
“consent without consent”: “if in later years, [the colonized] see and
admit that the disputed relation was for the highest interest, it may be
reasonably held that authority has been imposed with the consent of the
governed,” as when a parent prevents a young child from running into
the street.
The beneficiaries of our endless good will failed to understand. The
Filipino nationalist Sixto Lopez wrote that the Filipinos
have already accepted the arbitrament of war, and war is the
worst condition conceivable, especially when waged by an Anglo-
Saxon race which despises its opponent as an alien or inferior
people. Yet the Filipinos accepted it with a full knowledge of its
horror and of the sacrifices in life and property which they knew
they would be called upon to make.
