But what do we call those Semites, such as Podhoretz and Debra Cagan, who reserve the right to be HOSTILE, HATEFUL AND PREJUDICE against others?
When Debra Cagan, advisor to Gate at the Pentagon, told MP that SHE HATES ALL IRANIAN,* she was not punished by those set of rules which have created by the aggressors. When Podhoretz called for the bombing of Iran he was not held responsible according to their own rules either. In fact these hateful people are advising the fascists in the white house and the pentagon. Why American people tolerate such ignorant individuals like Podhoretz and Debra Cagan? I think Americans with such powerful weapons of mass destruction in their arsenal have a responsibility to make sure that these kinds of people do not be in the position of influence.
Although there has been wide publicity about holocaust in WWII, the Iranian (Persian) holocaust has been ignored which happened earlier in WWI during 1917-1919 which has been written by Mohammad Majd.
As many as 8 to 10 million Persians perished because of starvation and disease due to British, an occupying force, war policy during the famine of 1917-1919, making it the greatest calamity in Persia’s history. In this book, Mohammad Gholi Majd argues that Persia was the greatest victim of World War One and also the victim of possibly the worst genocide of the twentieth century. Using U.S. State Department records, as well as Persian and British sources, Majd describes and documents a veritable holocaust about which practically nothing has been written. It is the first book in Majd’s World War I trilogy.
Now, the imperialists and Zionists who have been discredited more than ever before trying to push ignorant people into another war by demonizing those who have been victims of imperial occupation and annihilation during WWI.

The Great Famine and Genocide in Persia, 1917-1919

As a whole beautifully and eloquently written. His is (as is DV) a cry in the wilderness. As he mentions, Jay Leno echoed the propaganda machine to millions of late night watchers. That is repeated over and over. We invade and then we pull out the tape with some guy (Juan Cole) saying, “he never said that.” Uh! The noice machine just keeps on churning. Who is listening to Juan Cole? Where is his seat on the Sunday pundit shows? On CNN coverage of what’s going on in Iran and ME in general? The guy who can say to neocon Joe Klein, “Look I speak Farsi, and Ahmadinejad simply did not say that or that or that.”

However, I think Thomas Victor raises an important question, and while Mr. Blum prefers to see the US as not haveing a “dog in that fight” and therefore can play up principles, I would be more cautious (though I’d prefer to agree with Blum’s view). Darfur is an example of the subtextual layers that shade that conflict from the blanket “black and white”. We (Americans) show our incredible ignorance of the culture and history and circumstances of others and yet quickly pass judgment based on little to no understanding. Burma could very well be the anomoly, but US policy follows a steady and consistent trajectory. I hope I’m wrong, but suspended judgement, some digging and peeling back, may provide a different picture.

The lesson, whenever the US government offically supports a rebellion or apparent overthrow of a government – question its motives (and potential role).

I love Blum’s reports and other writings…very readable if you have trouble getting through to short attention spans

At 74, Blum has been around long enough to see the machinations, the mind-games, played by Empire to create external monsters in order to frighten “citizens” into complicity with genocidal campaigns in Asia, Latin America, and now the Middle East.

“Killing Hope” may be the best book about the Cold War yet written. It is dramatic narrative with particularity as well as a wide scope. “Rogue State,” recommended by bin Laden (!), is simply essential reading for anyone endeavoring to understand our modern world, especially America’s ability to transform reality into myth and vice versa–its ability to confuse, confound, trample upon human rights and freedom in the name of human rights and freedom!

Blum’s scholarship is impeccable, and the clarity he achieves in his prose is enviable. But he goes beyond those admirable qualities; he takes a brave stand.

People here think of it as being like the wimpy student and antiwar demonstrations here in the US – but in Burma the demonstrators were physically trying to shut down the Government and prevent it from functioning – i.e. trying to overthrow it. If anyone tried that here there would be instant mass killings.

That is a common way in which the US tries to do regime change in countries with unfriendly governments, it has been done over and over so many times. Find a rebel group (or create one from scratch) arm and finance it and have it attack the Government, then give massive publicity to the ‘human rights abuses’. E.G. the Contras in Nicaragua.

I liked your ‘American Holocaust’.
