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.

To say that I am "defending" AIPAC or Israel by denying that they control US imperialism is like saying I am defending the Nazis by denying that Hitler is cyrogenically preserved at a secret saucer base in Antarctica. I oppose Israel's real crimes (theft and colonization of Palestinian land, bellicosity against its neighbors)—not its imagined ones.
My "Jewish ethnic loyalty" is not misplaced. Every other ethnic group in the world is permitted and encouraged to defend its enlightened self-interest in leftist discourse. Only Jews are denied this right.
It is arguable which one of us is ignorant of how Washington works. Decisions of vital geo-strategic import are not, ultimately, left to the vagaries of Congress, much less to pressure groups.
And as long as we are playing the guilt-by-association game, how does it feel to be "locking arms" with Pat Buchanan and David Duke, Blankfort?

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.

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.
