Don't even get your hopes up about making leftists see the light. Remember Chomsky, who swore up and down that the killing fields of Cambodia were a CIA-fabricated lie. When he could no longer maintain that belief, he simply switched to believing that the American presence created the situation, the murders were because of us. If we'd stayed away from their argrarian paradise and not interfered in the workers' utopia, they'd have never "had" to kill all those peasants.

I know other leftie profs who have the same mindset. Anything that the Ba'ath regime did after Gulf War 1 will be blamed on the sanctions, you wait and see. Indeed, I have sat in on university lectures wherein professor emeritus types have said that we should have let the Socialist Ba'ath party have Kuwait and Saudi Arabia too. That we had no right to interfere, that we "prop up" monarchies and interfere with socialist paradises in the making.

And why do we do it? Why, don't you know? It's all about oil. I don't even bother talking with these people anymore. They are truly nuts and obsessed with Marxism.

The peaceniks don't care about this, they're on the side of evil. They'll still support Saddam as well as most of the Muslims --even if these victims are other Muslims.

True enough. A lot of people (Americans included) refused to believe that Stalin was killing millions of his own people. They just dismissed it with the wave of a hand when the facts became inconvenient.

We'll never know for sure, but the few Russian records that were not shredded are now indicating that approx. 60-80 million people were killed by the Stalin regime.

I agree. Let's see even if the mainstream press picks it up. The horrible events that happened in Desert Storm/Shield were declassified last week: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/884889/posts

I only saw one media source write ANYTHING about it. And it was only a back page mention.

It is easier to dismiss information as a lie when hardly anyone knows about it.

You fellows speak the truth. There are important elements in American life who are sincerely and tenaciously evil. They have huge and deluded followings. We must keep in mind that the Devil protects his own and then deal with these people.
