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.

This "criticism of Chomsky is tantemount to a vulgar ad hominem attack. To say one agrees with AIPAC simply because they disagree about the extent of their influence over US Middle East policy is ignorant. There is much of this nonsense going on in our national discussion about the Middle East. I've been told I am a Zionist simply because I stress that the Iraq War is mostly about Oil and not Israel. I guess this would make the likes of Palestinians like Rashid Khalidi a Zionist because he happens to hold the same view. People who make arguments like the one made by Blankfort are right wing populists who want to hide the truth and blame all the ills of imperialism on the Jews in order to take the focus off the real culprits.

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.
