I don't see where they're saying the US can't handle it. My interest is the portuion regarding to distortions of the holocaust history when the historical anchor has gone...regrettably, I think that may be correct, based on conversations I've had with youngsters lately regarding the Khmer Rouge trials or the Demjanjuk trials.

As a Professor, one of the main topics covered in my classes is “The Holocaust” and the students are shown everything. There are others such as myself who do the same thing.

There are others in Academia who are anti-Jewish,and they are the ones who do not discuss the Holocaust, but then there are those few who are insane enough to make statements “there was no Holocaust”.

Families need to sit down with their children and teach them values, educate them on civics and let the children know about US History. When most students take my basic US History class (college), most have to be taught the basic history in order to get them on the right path to learning about US History.

So, did the United States do what you want or not?

The larger issue here is that a world that necessitates the hiding of children is deeply flawed, "...not just a glitch, it's the total collapse of all systems."

Not to in any way belittle the Holocaust but in my reading of history the holocaust is but a variation on a theme.

Man is a brutal and vicious animal. There have been countless examples throughout history were entire cities have been wiped out by invaders (Rome destroyed Carthage).

The Jews are unique in that they are a perennial scapegoat in the world but man’s in humanity to man is not in anyway limited to them.

It is the priest in the story that is remarkable not the rapist. When one man risks his life to help the oppressed that is the failure of the system (meaning the normal order of the world).

Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge happened after the Vietnam war when America was in real upheaval with the end of the Nixon administration, the Ford administration and especially the Carter administration. For the most part, it was ignored by the world so I’m not surprised that people don’t know about it.

I wonder if knowing that so many people were killed on his watch is what drove Carter insane, not that he had far to go.

The article is very incoherent. To be honest, I had a very hard time following what the author was trying to say.
