Zeev,, <<Unfortunately we cannot intervene
in all genocides, >>

This exactly is the bone of contention, with all the BS in the world , why this particular case. I must assume that there is much more than meets the eye or ear.

ZEEV: You are right; I did overstate my case.

What I really meant to say is that US has and does support genocidal massacres when it perceives such massacres to be in its interest. That was not the case in Bosnia. But our politicians cheered when the Indonesian military killed as many as a million "communists" within 6 months after taking power via a coup in 1965. Our politicians also supported the Central American death squads that butchered hundreds of thousands of civilians while the cold war was raging in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.

We raise a hue and cry about the crimes of SH, real and imagined, but the media is silent on the hundreds of thousands Iraqi civilians who have perished because of the sanction.
