I would like to rise in defense of Fred Hiatt and his imperialistic warmongering (which incorporates war-cheerleading) cohort, and commend them for their ability to learn from egregious mistakes and misjudgements, and to improve, refine, and otherwise evolve their intellectual and ethical understanding of foreign policy issues.
But I'll never be able to do that if Hiatt keeps publishing this vile and absurd dreck.
His editorial views dribble forth like maggots from the orifices of decaying monsters. Even after All We Now Know, Hiatt remains righteously wedded to the precept that "we had to destroy this village in order to save it", mixed with the ruthless and genocidal hypocrisy practiced by the government and military authorities of the Reich of Zion which rules the state and people of Israel: the systematic and intentional commission of terroristic atrocities by state military forces, beneath the brittle and crumbling rhetorical fig leaves justifying such acts as legitimate defense to unprovoked violent aggression, or simply Merry Mixups worthy of a perfunctory and vacuous "apology", or insidious pretense of "regret".
The Ugly Amerikans are still in charge, political misfeasors and sycophantic apologists alike.
