I remember this essay. It's great.

It seems that Babylon 5 has helped a bit to deconstruct the either/or overemphasis, by means of a single piece of dialog that's become frequently quoted:
Kosh: "They are alone. They are a dying people. We should let them pass."
Sinclair: "Who? The Narn or the Centauri?"
Kosh: "Yes."

-- "Midnight on the Firing Line", Babylon 5
