I suppose what Goldhagen thinks he's doing is exposing the truth in the hopes that people will appreciate it. If so, he's wrong. True, there are a few people who will appreciate it. Most will not and will harbor resentment. And, of course, there are those who will refute his positions which only adds to the animosity. Some of the vitriolic language in this article, for instance, impresses me less than if the author took a more logical approach and left out adjectives such as "schlock". I suppose that's impossible given the emotional arguments involved.
