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.

We have a policy against hate speech on this site, and this comes pretty close to violating it. Calling someone an idiot if it's warranted does not qualify as hate speech in our book, but implying that someone's ethnicity delegitimizes his politics does. However, it is tempting to let your post stand, just as evidence of how poisonous the atmosphere on the so-called "left" in this country has become.
If you spent a little time on this website, it would quickly become obvious to you that we are not Zionists. We do not hate Iranians (you wouldn't happen to be a Jew-hater would you?). We vigorously support Iranian feminists, trade unionists and left-dissidents. (We even remember to spell the word "Iranian" with an upper-case I.) What, you think you love Iranians because you wave pom-poms for their oppressors?
We have explained at length why Diana Johnstone is a useful idiot for Slobodan Milosevic and Serb fascism.
Oh, and despite all the hoopla from the conspiracy set about how Ahmadinejad's "wipe-Israel-off-the-map" quip was a fabrication or mistranslation, AlJazeera cited the quote to the official Iranian news agency IRNA. Credible enough sources for you? And if it really is a translation error, perhaps you'd like to explain to us the subtle difference between "wipe off the map" and "erase from the page of time"?
Do you wish to dig yourself any deeper into your hole?

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.

"Brian" an idiot?

We have certainly not ignored the Office of Special Plans. Why is "Brian" ignoring the grab for Iraq's oil, which Iraq's civil resistance are putting their lives and freedom on the line to resist?
