Of course Democrats will support President Obama as he violates the Constitution and abuses his power. Not one Democratic Senator thought perjury or obstruction of justice were enough cause to remove a Democratic President. None showed much concern when the president allowed our most sensitive technologies to be transferred to China as Chinese money filled Democratic campaign coffers. None protested when the President and his stooge AG ordered that no investigation be done of these transactions. When women and children burned in Waco Democrats all joined their President in impugning the patriotism of anyone who questioned the government's actions or culpability. When Clinton bombed Iraq during his impeachment Democrats demanded that we all give our patriotic support. When he bombed Yugoslavia for 78 days based on lies as transparent as those which supported the war in Iraq, in violation of the UN charter, the US Constitution and the War Powers Act, Democrats gave nearly unanimous support. This was a premeditated war of aggression which sought political concessions by means of attacking mainly civilian infrastructure with thousands of civilian casualties; almost the definition of terrorism. In that war though, the allies were Muslim terrorists, but no Democrat seemed to mind. Going back, Democrats supported the Vietnam war until it became a Republican war. And few Democrats made a peep when Roosevelt placed Japanese-American citizens in concentration camps. Where were the Democrats when President Wilson got his sedition Act? Both parties are hypocrites, face it.

The aggressive, domineering and self-righteous nature of US foreign policy did not begin seven years ago. It may have always been implicit to a small degree, but it became overt following the collapse of the only countervailing power, the Soviet Union. During the nineties America for the first time went overseas to attack a country that had not nor could or would attack us. Like the conquest of Iraq, this war was based on lies, sham diplomacy and propaganda about "humanitarian" motives. In order to complete an ongoing policy to dismember Yugoslavia, the US, in violation of the UN charter, the US Constitution and the War Powers Resolution, for 78 days bombed Yugoslavia to force her to divest of her sovereign territory, the province of Kosovo. This air war, directed almost entirely at Yugoslavia's civilian economic infrastructure and killing about 2000 civilians, was whole-heartedly supported by liberals, first among them Thomas Friedman. Among his quotes: (I paraphrase) "If Slobo won't comply we'll bomb his country back to 1989, If he still won't we'll bomb em back to 1889. If he still won't we'll bomb em back to 1389." (the year of the battle of Kosovo between Serbia and the Turks) Elsewhere the disciple of globalization said,"the war over Kosovo shows that you can't have McDonald's without McDonnell Douglas." Friedman and his allies inside and outside government advocated an overtly terroristic policy; to force a nation to make political concession by threatening to destroy or actually destroy the civilian economy, the means of subsistence and its way of life. From his tone one senses that Friedman does this not just from a sense of political necessity, but with great relish. He seems to take great vicarious pleasure at the mass misery and mass murder caused by "his" war machine. Yet I suspect he would never personally even hurt a fly. Yes, but even Hitler loved children and animals. What a pathetic, sick man.

The point of this article is exactly what President Ahmadinajad was trying to make in his infamous speech in which he said the "holocaust was a myth." It was not a statement of holocaust denial but an attempt to explain that israel has turned the holocaust into an excuse that justifies its own atrocious behavior. But his true intent has been inverted by the same forces described by Kamiya. Likewise, Ahmadinajad never said he planned to "wipe Israel off the face of the map" but rather, "the regime which occupies Jerusalem will be removed from the sands of time." Not a threat but a prediction of the ultimate victory of his view of God's justice, not unlike Ronald Reagan's dustbin of History quote.
