Genocide In Rwanda, and US INaction

[LeoCasey at aol.com]

Heartfield:
You are boringly predictable, and eventually you become just plain boring. I 
chose to respond to Russell, not you, because you have already told us for 
the one hundred and fiftieth time that the US is the 'evil empire,' and that 
is all we need to know about world events. This analysis has all the 
sophistication of some mullah complaining about the "Great Satan." Twist 'em, 
turn 'em, weave this way, bob that way, do whatever you need to squeeze any 
particular into that fundamentalist theological formula. I suppose the 
rhetorical strategy is just to wear down anybody who disagrees with this 
"Dead Marxism" worldview by the force of constant repetition. 

 
<< Leo hopes that the sheer horror of the massacres will outweigh our 
critical senses to the point that no-one will notice that he is  demanding 
that the most destructive world power at the end of the  twentieth century 
should by some act of transubstantiation become instead a force for sweetness 
and light. >>

Power concedes nothing without a demand.
It never has, and it never will.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress.
Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation are men who 
want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and 
lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters.
