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.

Same old same old. Such predictable responses always leave me wondering whether you folks are arguing disingenuously or really don't get it.
I said not a word to "exculpate" Zionism of any of its real crimes--certainly not the ethnic cleansing of '48, which took place decades before Israel became a U.S. client state.
What makes you think you have the right to lecture me about "settler-colonialism"? Has Seth seen the rigorous reportage on this website of land-theft from Palestinian farming villages by the Apartheid Wall? I am not seeking to "exculpate" Zionism of "settler-colonialism", but of "controlling" (TM Blankfort) Washington.
It is my adversaries who are seeking to "exculpate" imperialism. The notion that Washington acts against its own imperial interests because of the "extrardinary power of the Jewish Lobby" is bunk. Acknowledging that says absolutely nothing about the oppressive nature of Zionism, or the justice of the Palestinian cause. Get it yet?
Contrary to Seth's arbitrary assumption, Chomsky goes further than I would in the "strategic asset" thesis: I support calls for an economic boycott of Israel, for instance. Chomsky's stance is by no means above challenge. But he is far closer to the mark than Blankfort.
I never said a word about "WASPs."
I wholeheartedly support JATO, and have promoted their work on both this website and my radio show.

Propaganda:
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.
