Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.

Applying that Malcolm X quote to someone who is taking a radical-left anti-imperialist line on the Middle East is insulting (and trivializing of Malcolm's words) beyond belief. Massad is more likely to win friends among the Anglo-nationalist wing of the ruling elites by toeing the ever-more-popular Judeophobe line. And while the ruling elites have their splits (Judeophile/Arabphile, Yankee/Cowboy, etc.), the overriding concern of control of oil is utterly critical to US policy in both the Middle East and Latin America. All the tendencies within the ruling class are equally hostile to Massad's genuine anti-imperialist position. He has staked out the loneliest turf, as far as wooing the powerful is concerned.
I could with greater justice call you a "house nigger" for Pat Buchanan. Could—if I were willing to stoop to your level, that is.

The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.

An Historical Guide Through the Balkan Labyrinth
The Balkan region is intensely multicultural - a point of crossroads and clash for some of the world's major religions, cultural spheres, and economic systems. While there have been vicious wars in Balkan history, these have taken place in the context of manipulation by imperial powers and the self-serving local leaders who cater to them.
