I also agree with your hate of realpolitik excuse and comment; yet I have to ask... What is the alternative? idealism? a mix of both? I find the idealist to be useful fools for propaganda. I find the mix of both even worse as it mostly becomes "it's right when we do it". I guess in my view where I see these are the only alternatives, I just hate whoever disagrees with me and create a reason post-facto like [realpolitik cinicism/naive idealism/insert here qualifier]. But I try to be open to different alternatives if you can tell me.
