Do you recommend a particular one? This is actually relevant today not only to expose Porter et al.'s moral bankruptcy, but also the method behind it. For instance Michael Vickery's book on Cambodia assesses the number massacred, and comes up with a genocide-level total, but at the same time points out fabrications on both sides of the question of whether there was genocide at all. It's that nuance which is obviously lost on tankies past and present. _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com

Porter is a rather stupid individual with a stain on his career that will never go away--being a spin doctor for Pol Pot. This obviously prepared him for the shit he writes on Syria.) That argument has been made in a number of places over the last few years, but the most widely republished version is an essay by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in Politico, arguing that the Obama administration began to lay the groundwork for overthrowing the Assad regime in 2009 after Syrian President Bashar al-Assad rejected a pipeline proposed by Qatar. That planned pipeline agreed to by Qatar and Turkey, Kennedy argues, would have linked Qatar's natural gas to European markets through Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and Turkey, so it would have deprived Russia of Europe's dependence on its natural gas. full: http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/37685-the-war-against-the-assad-regime-is-not-a-pipeline-war _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
