Like Chomsky Miles you are suffering from a severe case of hypocrisy. You have the gall to speak of unspeakably evil people being under duress whilst ignoring the hateful behaviour they exhibited. Your sympathy for people is very selective and seems not to include anybody who was not wronged by America, Britain or Israel. None of your indignation is saved for the French or Chinese who sold more weapons to Iraq than anyone else, who carried out atrocities in Africa and in the case of China still imprison without due process. No anger at Iran or the Taliban in Afghanistan for murdering, raping and maiming women. Do you also share Noam's views on Cambodia?
