The genocide of Kurds committed directly by Saddam and our still fully supported allies in Turkey is as bad or worse than what is going on in Kosovo. Yet no one with authority in the US government has spoken out against it - except to use it as a justification for slaughtering Iraqi soldiers and starving Iraqi children. After Desert Storm we had the opportunity to establish a Kurdish state in northern Iraq. Our fearless leaders reasoned that as bad as Saddam was it was not in our best interests to allow him to be weakened in this manner. How can the media remain totally silent with the outrageous, and immoral conduct of US foreign policy? How can the GOP which ranted about the "rule of law" when it concerned lies about sex stay silent when genocide is being supported directly and indirectly by the Clinton administration? It's easy to bring the powerless Khmer Rouge to trial 20 years after the murderous rampages; how do we hold those responsible for mass murder in the Middle East accountable for their immoral behavior? Will the world ever see any semblance of justice in the Middle East when the world's most powerful government - run by a seriously criminal element itself - continues to pursue a dysfunctional foreign policy which invariably aligns itself with homicidally criminal regimes? Only when the honest people of this country gain power and begin prosecution of its own criminal class.
