From the desk of Mindles H. Dreck:Strange Perspective of Blamers
Blame America At Your Peril is an article by Jonathan Alter on the blatherings of "blame-America-firsters". He points out that some of this is equivalent to saying "Uncle Sam wore a short skirt and asked for it." Several of my favorite websites make this the quote of the day.
Here's another less pungent but similar idea. How come apartheid-era sanctions supposedly wouldn't hurt the people of South Africa (or any number of right wing dictatorships) but are, in the post 1991-era responsible for killing innocent Iraqis and "asking" for the death of 5000 New Yorkers? Sanctions are apparently OK for racist and corrupt regimes that pretend at democracy but not totalitarian genocidal dictators with no democratic aspirations whatsoever busy preparing weapons of mass destruction to be used on Americans and Israelis. Yeah, OK, I get it...
