"Some People Push Back" On the Justice of Roosting Chickens By Ward Churchill
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When queried by reporters concerning his views on the assassination of John F. Kennedy in November 1963, Malcolm X famously – and quite charitably, all things considered – replied that it was merely a case of "chickens coming home to roost."
On the morning of September 11, 2001, a few more chickens – along with some half-million dead Iraqi children – came home to roost in a very big way at the twin towers of New York's World Trade Center. Well, actually, a few of them seem to have nestled in at the Pentagon as well.
The Iraqi youngsters, all of them under 12, died as a predictable – in fact, widely predicted – result of the 1991 US "surgical" bombing of their country's water purification and sewage facilities, as well as other "infrastructural" targets upon which Iraq's civilian population depends for its very survival.
If the nature of the bombing were not already bad enough – and it should be noted that this sort of "aerial warfare" constitutes a Class I Crime Against humanity, entailing myriad gross violations of international law, as well as every conceivable standard of "civilized" behavior – the death toll has been steadily ratcheted up by US-imposed sanctions for a full decade now. Enforced all the while by a massive military presence and periodic bombing raids, the embargo has greatly impaired the victims' ability to import the nutrients, medicines and other materials necessary to saving the lives of even their toddlers.

already posted in full - it was all I could do to read the whole thing
Ever heard of the 'food for oil' scam?? What an idiot writer this bozo is. The embargo was a joke.
I guess I didn't use the right search terms. I found the name of this wonderful essay in the Washington Times so I decided to stomach it and see what it really said. It was as bad as I thought. The real question is what's he teaching and for that matter what's the rest of the department he used to chair teaching?
I reckon so.
I think Malcolm had a few of his own chickens flocking home. You might have a few of your own chickens, Ward.
Once again, new media is shining light on these cockroaches. The old media would heave left them alone to continue spewing poison to college students. Heres hopin this idiot gets what he deserves...a pink slip. Then he can go write all the commie trash books he wants. He can even use all his royalties to buy a latte at starbucks.
