    Apparently, there are some people in the State Department that are huge 'genocide deniers'.

    If modernizing reform includes scapegoating certain ethnic or religious groups, and cleansing them from the population, then this must be the same kind of reform the U.S. is encouraging in Iraq. You know the reform where killing members of the population in gross and disenfranchising other portions forever is politically correct.

    stories, songs & judgements
