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.

The US WAS very much involved in WWII before Pearl Harbour. US companies and associates (especially) bankers financed and supplied many of the things that Hitler (and to be fair, the - what were to become Allies - required. IBM the Hollerith accounting systems so masterfully used in the slave camps and concentration camps, financing the chemical industry, supplying engines etc etc.,
To try and rank the equivalance of evil is pointless, like saying would Drobney have beaten Jimmy Connors or could Weismuller outswim Spitz. Hitler, Stalin, Dubya are all responsible in their own way for directing military slaughter of inoccents - and often the not so inoccent.
That PB sits back in his anecdotage and says, "what was it all about?" is hardly remarkable.
His two most recent books are the most penetrating analysis of the decline of the West,it's culture and it's commerce and it's consequences I have read.
One may reasonably cavil at the detail but after that, he writes with style, wit and wisdom. Crypto fascist buffoon ?
I don't see him shovelling the corpses in the boilers, supporting the horrors of Abu Ghraib, Bagram, Diego Garcia, Guantanamo, "rendering" supporting the likes of body boiler Karimov, as the curent US regime supported by the Craven Blair do.
You should choke on the word hypocrisy.

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.
