Who Is "Lover of Angels"?
Who Is “Lover of Angels”?
From the above web site:
About: Behind this mask lies not a man but an idea. An idea is bullet-proof. Lover of Angels is a Knight under the Prophet's Banner and Son of the Sword of Saladin.Two comments left by Lover of Angels at “Ohio Islamic Leader To Be Deported”:
Interests: "Remember when you sought help of your Lord and He answered you, saying: I will help you with a thousand of the angels each behind the other in succession. This was a message of hope from your Lord to reassure and comfort your hearts, since victory comes only through the help of Allah, the Mighty, the Wise."

Yes, My doctorate has done enormous damage to the Zionists in America, so much so that the Head Priestess at Hillel once whined, "It's a disgrace that Jewish money is going to pay for this man's salary." BTW, why has LOA never been deported? If ye only knew...The site-meter trail for the above comments appears to lead to Dr. Julio Cèsar Pino of Kent State University. Dr. Pino is “an outspoken apologist for Palestinian terrorism.”
Comment by Lover of Angels— 2005/11/26 @ 01:55 PM
Yes, but think of all those "sleepers", like LOA, who are left behind, live and dangerous. Who knows when the next martyrdom operation might be coming to your town? I do.
Comment by Lover of Angels— 2005/11/28 @ 10:13 AM
Should such an individual be teaching at one of the leading universities in the United States?
The petition protesting Dr. Pino's employment is here.

Let's get him, AOW.
How long will America tolerate spies and traitors while we are engaged in a war to the death?
When are we going to get serious about this?
i believe it will come to IT getting serious about u.s. before the sleeping giant fully awakens - we're on the fringe, people - hate to say it, but the majority of people out there are uneducated to the ways of propaganda. try talking to another ordinary, everyday christian about islam and do you know what they say? "well, we're supposed to be tolerant of other religions - turn the other cheek - don't gossip." blah, blah, blah...
nanc, how right you are. over at my blog provider there was a fellow christian who said that very same thing yesterday. arrgghhhh!
Folks,
Our day is coming. Hang in there!
Still one of my favorite expressions:
"At some point, our collective heads will come up out of the sand, probably propelled by the force of an explosion, and we'll stand, mouths agape like so many fish out of water, trying to comprehend a situation we've done our best to ignore."
china?
I'd say FPM should be informed as well.
Good job exposing this pos!
I gave up trying to understand idiots like that. It gives me a headache. They aren't going to wake up and smell the coffee until there is nothing left but grounds.
Religion of Pieces,
What does the dragon symbolize? Evil embodied as I interpret art with St. George depicted.
Legend has it that St. George appeared at Antioch during the Crusades, right before the Muslims were defeated.
BTW, that article just posted at JW is about four years old. But I have no doubt that Muslims in the UK would object to St. George, and particularly the cross.
Saint George. He's the symbol of Christian chivalry - protection of innocence, defence of the weak against the strong, and respect for women.
Just like Sir Walter Scott's character Ivanhoe, the embodiment of what a TRUE knight should be.
BTW, when I was a little girl, my aunt gave me a reproduction of St. George and the Dragon, a small reproduction from the National Gallery of Art. I think it's time to dig our that frame reproduction and hang it on my living-room wall.
GREAT post, AOW!! Thanks for bringing this hidious excuse of a public educator to our attention.
"Head Priestess at Hillel once whined"
Head Priestess??? Hillel have high priestesses? Since the heck when?? Freak.
When the government can't protect us from the enemy within, the government can't protect the enemy within from us.
our campuses have become the breading ground for our colapse
Oh. Beamish - I like that one.
good morning all - this is "holocaust remembrance day" - never again. madze has a great tribute to this day today.
Iran Watch,
Lover of Angels used to allow comments, but recently discontinued them. Maybe he got challenged too often?
Dr. Pino was mentioned as early as 2002. From this source:
Kent State University, Ohio: Julio César Pino of the history department published an ode to a Palestinian suicide bomber, lauding her courage and calling on Allah to "elevate your place in paradise."
And published today, April 25, is this:
...So just how profound is the jihadist presence on Western university campuses? Anthony Glees, director of Brunel University's center for intelligence and security studies in West London, issued a report last year stating that "extremists and/or terror groups" have been operating in more than 30 universities in Britain, the Guardian reports.
You would think that with a record like this Muslim university students would be closely monitored. After all, many of the 9/11 terrorists were traveling freely around the West on student visas. More importantly university students are at that tender age when Muslims tend to blow themselves (and others) up. American universities, however, have been extremely reluctant to monitor Muslim students, and, as we've seen in the case of Hashemi, actually compete amongst themselves to bring former terrorists to their campuses. The irony is that students like Hashemi, Ahmed and Taheri-azar are likely to get even more radicalized on U.S. campuses with their steady drumbeat about how racist, sexist, and immoral the U.S. is....
You won't find Ducky on this subject; it is indefensible!
This man needs to be publicly humiliated and ran out of Kent on a rail!
There needs to be a referendum on traitors in this country!
SEDITION!!!
the edowd email address is for his boss not the professor himself
I'm sure his boss will get tired of people sending him e-mails. I'm sure that they will get forwarded to the right person.
JB, Ducky,
Yeah imagine if Josef Goebbels had been publishing a newspaper during WWII? Would you chalk that up to free speech too? Even if it meant your liberal arse would be beheaded, shot or gassed?
I guess I should stop giving to that muslim charity then? and to people who are helping Pakistan rebuild after the quake?
John Brownose
I will speak slowly as you are a dimwit. The Mooooooslim cartoons were a freedom of the press issue. This is a Professor being subsidized with taxpayer funds. There is zero relationship in this issue.
I want to also see legislation that will denaturalize all members of the CPT and ISM . If you want to break the lae that is fine but you will be barred from ever returning to the USA.
not to mention using university resources to post his hate.
White supremacist meltdown over Mo cartoons? I must have missed that. Was that when those freedom loving followers of Allah were burning the Danish flag and threatening to beheaded anyone who insulted Islam?
John Brown, I suggest actually reading the stories and not just the headlines. Supposedly it only takes a sixth-grade education to handle reading the newspaper so you should be fine.
lmao@this tool
What rock did you climb out from under.
Bloviate...you're the pompous ass.
"I read what I need to read to get the facts."
Sure you do JB, as long as they fit in with your limited world view.
how long were you in Iraq JB?

this coming from the guy who won't even let anybody comment on his blog, that's rich! HAHAHAHAHA
i don't have to post ANY pictures - because i'm sure everybody here gets the photo op you're giving brownieboy. turn around - your hiney's talkin' crappe about you!
Interesting that evil and insanity are both banal. Humm, wonder if there is a lesson there?

Kindly report for beheading unlike the others you have never used your head anyway.
Why not emulate Tom Fox so look for the 19 Pseudostinians that sold him like a cheap call girl, Maybe they can make a bloopers reel of your beheading. Time to go and I do not want one finger lifted to save your commie behind either.

Why are you afraid of comments JB? Can't back up your rants?
Intellectually challenged?
It's cool bro...God really didn't make all men equal.
at least da weazl let's you comment at his blog...what does that say about brownie boy?
Well you know the joke about brain transplants, you pay more for a man's because it's never been used. In J.B.'s case, you'll get a refund!

God bless him and keep him.
Nanc,
Tony Snow? Off to read a news update right now.
AC
You may have been Brownnose's only reader. He has never been reality based . He talks about white supremacy while championing an Colonial slavebased culture with 1400 years of history.
A simple look at the demographics of any Moooooooslim country shows what societies practice aparthied.
beak - hank snow is claiming tony snow is his brother at fpm first article - bwaaahhhhhhh!!!
LoBrow,
Even in the odd chance that you might have something intelligent to say, it is doubtful that the mind-decaying pathogens that cause you to willfully identify yourself as a leftist would allow you to say it.
and we should care what JB says because why?
I can't think of any reasons. For the first time in my entire blogging career, I am completely stumped. If he had any redeeming qualities, I might be upset. But I'm not.
-FJ
FJ,
I know what you mean. Deleting comments is an option, I suppose. Goes against my grain, however.
Maybe you and other regular commenters here would give me some input on that option.
I don't even bother reading what JB has to say--a waste of my time. I will not respond to JB either--more waste of time.
if he would at least weigh in on the issue at hand, that would be a start, but he goes into tirades and gets EVERYBODY off subject. i'd be willing to wager he's what warren says he is. he wears himself out and then disappears for a week or so. a pitiful character, probably needs mental health care. maybe he'll reach out to someone. sure hope they have a loaded gun on hand!
morning everybody!
O.T.
aow - check your mail please.
AND CONGRATULATIONS TO TONY SNOW!
j.bargholz has an article at autonomist regarding this event.
Hi Mr Ducky! I see you're still peddling your leftist agenda on this excellent blog. How does Always put up with it, I wonder?
Come join us, Mr Ducky? We need people like you on our side! :-)
not to butt into plucky's and i.w. spat, but there is a wealth of info on google regarding marx. i googled "marxism position on gold standard" and you'd not believe the sites.
http://www.friesian.com/smith.htm
if you scroll down to the notes, it gets very interesting.
soooo happy to be a capitalist pig!
he does have passion, mark.
and now to brownieboy, i know how you hate stuff like this:
http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=22203
aow - being a homeschool teacher, have you ever visited this wondy site?:
http://educationwonk.blogspot.com/2006/04/carnival-of-education-week-64.html
you censor yourself brownie. nobody here would blame aow for helping you along.
No earthly rule can ever be absolute.
-FJ
...even those thought to be of divine origin.
-FJ
I will never understand you Marxists. You whine and carry on about the superiority of communism, yet you would NEVER take up permanent residence with Castro or Chavez.
Probably because you know what total crapholes those places are. You just cannot admit when you are wrong.
And JB, you begging AOW to censor you when she has already said she won't just makes you look like a platitudinous zombie.
And, since you obviously need direction to remain focused, the subject matter of this post is Professor Terror, Julio Pino.
So, do you support the use of our tax dollars to fund the support of Islamic terror and death to our armed men and women?
Ducky and JB, your appeasement of Islamic terror perpetuates it. Because Clinton let the Cole and WTC go the first time, we saw the towers fall later. These folks will do whatever we allow them to get away with, including Pino.
Did I say that Pino should be "burned at the stake" or even procecuted? No. I want him fired for posting his terroist comments at the state's expense. That's not hypocrasy. (And I'd have to do some reading up before I comment on the MSU thing.)
JB and Ducky, the only racists here are you. You have attacked the "white supremecist" over and over. No one here has made any racial comments but YOU. You don't even know what race I am, but let's not let that stop you...
You're all for funding terrorism, Brooke. When Ronnie the Crip was bankrolling Saddam and alCIAda, the fascist white supremacist wingnut crew was all for it.
And when it comes to training terrorists, Uncle Sam's Brownshirts - at their death camp in Fort Benning - has trained Posada and many others to wage a terror war.
Ducky, your juvenile,condescending attitude speaks volumes about who is really oustide of their weight class.
You are a tiresome stereotype of the left. When you have nothing better to say, (which is most of the time) you resort to what I'm sure you consider to be 'clever' name-calling, and attempt to make yourself sound intellegent by insulting the acumen of others.
*sigh* Why is the only liberal I can have a decent conversation with JTL, over at my blog?
brooke - there are some decent liberals, although few and far between.
as for the poopstain - i'm going to pray to the G-d of israel that his comments start disappearing with the help of the administrator of this fine establishment. he's worn out his unwelcome every place he's been; you cannot comment at his blog; he's stuck on stupid and somebody needs to put a penny on his head!
No, actually. The refusal of Clinton to imprison OBL when he had the chance, combined with his appeasement attitude resulted in, as you said, the bombing of the Cole at the end of his administration. Considering that he was a two-termer, I don't see anyone else he could possibly blame. How is it possible that Bush caused that before his administation was in place? (I assume that you refer to Bush when you say chucklenuts. I didn't bring my Duck decoder ring today.)
How brave of you to troll when you will not allow discourse at your own blog.I'm sure its a shining bastion of liberal nonsense, unmarred by the comments of those who just can't stomach your tommyrot.
BTW, Ducky, I'm a she, and you have most certainly not spanked me!
Hey Beak, I'm betting j.b. is NOI? Ducky just needs his meds. Get 'em together and what do you have? A perpetual motion machine! To bad we can't parent it!
tmw
Excuse meeee! That was supposed to be patented!
tmw
Not NOI. I wouldn't join a group who helped the FBI kill Malcolm.
Malcom lived by the sword, and he died by it. I would suggest that you read a little MLK.
No thanks. The FBI killed him, too.
funy, now that's fony!

The Ducky John/Brown tag-team seems more intend on hurling insults that providing anything substantial to consider. But then again, they are still talking about Marx. What year is this? I have long ago thrown out most of my books on communism and Marxism. They're in the trash heap next to the “Manual of the Flat Earth Society” and “Ptolemy’s Guide to Astronomy” and right behind “Blood Letting: Path to Health and Wealth.”
If you want substance, Jason, go elsewhere. You're not going to find it on the Rummy-worshiping neo-fascist blogosphere. Try the Financial Times, perhaps.
Here you find nothing but hypocritical windbags who hate free speech, advocate apartheid, vilify teachers for saying troubling words, and post photos of feces.
And don't try to fool us into thinking you had books, either, funny guy.
Lets divide and conquer . We have the sane opposition Ducky and the illucid cartoon John Brownose.
Their history of Marx seems to leave out relevant facts roughly 100,000,000 of them. This history also leaves out a lengthy pattern of subversion, treason and espoinage all over the globe. Brown quotes Trotsky who believed in exporting revolution and fails to mention how his wasteful life ended in Mexico City. Brownnose also fails to mention who was allied with the Nazis. Nor does he mention the brutal rule of the Communist also created a plethora of Hiwis. 25% of Paulus's army was comprised of Hiwis. The oft cited 20 million casualty figure includes 1.5 million Jews and assorted Soviet citizens killed in Purges or local Commie whims. In other words Stalin liquidates a series of people and the figure gets added into the war tally. This must be Grouchomarxist math of some type.
The Duck is coherent and should be answered . Brown has no grasp of basic facts and should be treated as a bumbling simpleton.
the very best part of this thread is aow's students get to see just how radical and idiotic the other side is and hopefully will not follow "lockstep" as brownieboy so often likes to point out. why on earth anybody would like to be affiliated with any party he's a party to is beyond me. certifiable i tell you.
to aow students: do not suffer fools gladly. of course, from bantering with one of you - i know you're much smarter than that. i'd like to know how aow students feel about the brown one.
Ducky
The mayhem in Guatemala was started by Communsts. To blame the USA for deaths in a Civil War started by Communists is false and a bad joke. Your number includes casualties on both sides in a fight started by Communists. Funny wherever Commies go bodies follow.
Brown you have failed history 101. Even the furthest left Commie critics do not make your absurd claims. The majority of the deaths in Cuba and the Philipnnes took place in the Spanish American War.
The insurection in the Philipinnes
should seem familiar to you more people from the religion of Peace
failing to get along with others.
In short Brown you are a cartoon charchter and Ducky is just wrong as usual. As for your depictions of my relationship with AOW. AOW , Warren, Jason and Mr Beamish are friends of mine. Funny, I can't seem to recall a single one of yours even the Duck barely tolerates your ignorance.
"John Brown said...At least Cuba and Venezuela don't attack other countries on the basis of lies, killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people while training death squads"
Probably one of the most ignorant statements I've seen at any post. Death squads are hard at work in Venezuel eradicating anyone suspected in a previous coup attempt and Castro's paradise didn't stop hundreds of thousands to migrate to southern Florida.
I think we have a love connection here..
a.c. - you definitely do not see people DYING to get INTO those places!!!
CENSORMAN's little toady, Benito: listen.
I'll take the bait and talk about the past rather than the present, your chosen tactic to avoid discussing Uncle Sam's role in the ongoing Arabian genocide.
Your 100,000,000 figure is just nonsene. There's not one source that substantiates it. You're just a liar. The debate is really between 20 million and 1 million.
The 20,000,000 people are the Cheney's and Pipes's of academia - pure liars given nice endowments from the Ford Foundation to make stuff up. They say things like 2 million in Korea, 1 million in Vietnam. Pure nonsense, considering that Uncle Sam was direcly responsible - with Truman's dam bombing runs, Kennedy's concentration camps, and Nixon's napalm - for millions and millions and millions of Koreans and Vietnamese.
A more accurate historical number is about 1.5 million people. I suppose, for a group of wretched bandits who killed Trotsky and destroyed Lenin's political philosophy, that's understandable. It's not 200 or 300 years of slavery or the genocide of 25,000,000 Native Americans, but it's rotten. I sure wouldn't have suppported them. But I wouldn't have supported the Nazis, either, which makes me at least 1 "Trading With the Enemy" convition better than the Bush family.
Venezuelan death sqauds, eh?
Idiotic nonsense. You're a liar. Not one source substantiates this. It's just wind from a fool's mouth.
The death squads are the renenegade traitors who collaboarted with President 32% in their failed kidnapping and coup d'etat against their democratically elected President (unlike President 32%). The first declaration of the coup government, until the Venezuelan people took power back, was to disband the supreme court, dissolve the legislature, and arrest the cabinet.
That's what you represent, Beak: pure, unbridled fascism. You're what Trostky talked about needing to fight.
And regarding Cuba, people like Posada Carilles - a CIA spook who blew up a Cuban airplane, killing 73 civillians = and Kennedy's little Bay of Pigs are the terrorists. And Uncle Sam won't even extradite him. He's a terrorist according to your little Patriot Act, but you don't care. In fact, you want to make him a CITIZEN. I thought you hated "Illegal Immigration"?
Even still, while the CIA has been trying to kill Castro for decades, Castro's Cuba has never set foot on Uncle Sam's Plantation.
You're dumber than any poor soul taught by the operator of this site. When they read what you write, they actually unlearn!
And "Communists" did Guatemala! Christ Almighty, bro. What are you? 5 Years Old? A John Bircher?
Read a book.
You can tell a lot from who people support.
In Ukraine, you side with Ukranaians supported Hitler and were responsible for many of the 25,000,000 Soviet deaths during World War II, when Stalin was Uncle Sam's ally.
I don't know anything about the source or the event you cite anything regarding China, but the capitalist Opium Wars and capitalist engineered famine in the 19th century (Mike Davis, Late Victorian Holocausts were worse than anything the Chinese ever did to anyone else.
And Uncle Sam's attack on Cambodians that enabled Pol Pot killed more people than any "communism" present there. To call the Khymer Rouge a communist is not much different than calling Hillary Clinton a communist. An inability to describe with accuracy is not grounds to lie.
Then again, I guess that's how you get to 20,000,000 - lying, 5-Deferment-Cheney style.
"Burn a book." That's your refrain, right Benito?
Nanc,
to aow students: do not suffer fools gladly. of course, from bantering with one of you - i know you're much smarter than that. i'd like to know how aow students feel about the brown one.
Some of my students and their parents read my blog, and I've already heard their opinions as to certain comments on other threads. Many of these students and parents have come to an evaluation which certain comments don't promote. A bit of reverse psychology going on, if you get my meaning: "We have seen the enemy and get the picture."
Often, my student and parent visitors don't comment, and this time of the term is especially busy. But I'll be seeing many of the highschoolers tomorrow and will find out what they have noticed. I suspect that I already know what they'll say.
Right now, in the history textbook, we're studying some of the humanistic ideologies which thrived during The Roaring Twenties. The book is from the conservative viewpoint and makes points about the irrationality and futility of certain ideologies. What's been going on at this thread just confirms the textbook's editorializing--no mistake about that. Hehehe.
Just another observation here...The topic of this particular blog-article is the virulent hatred of Dr. Pino. Is there now any question that such virulent hatred can have impact in our society? I have to wonder if Dr. Pino has a twin brother who is commenting here--or perhaps a brainwashed student of his. The latter makes it all the more imperative to sign the petition, to which the link is in the blog article.
Beak,
We have the sane opposition Ducky...
And when the illucid one's comments pop into my inbox, I delete them without bothering to read any of it. No point really, and the one-note tune is boring, something Duck is not (at least, most of the time, though lately he's obsessed with the diaper metaphor).
Mussolini,
So, Ducky, while I believe the threat is real, I also believe we're being snowed.
Diversions from the diversions?
The threat is real, but there's plenty of snowing going on as well.
Brooke,

Duck often assumes that commenters are men and rarely checks profiles as far as I can tell. Maybe he's pressed for time.
AOW,
I am about to contact Ohio papers. ;-)
Lost in all Browstains rants is another comic gen. He cites 25,000,000 Native Americans slaughtered. Well the vast majority of those deaths occurred from diseases for which Native Americans had no immunity.
Now Brownstain chooses to ignore the plight of Jews and Christians invaded by Muslim hordes. The moral is that indigenous people have rights except when the colonialist carry a Koran.
Slavery is wrong when done by the West but even greater slavery is peachy as long as it is done by the sons of Allah or by Commies in Gulags.
Never fault Mussolini on history you are lost without a clue.
Vote Beamish in 08.

GWB's position on the immigration issue is one of the biggest blizzards in this administration. His verbal song-and-dance, in the name of "compassion," is surreal. I've become a bitter cynic now, as far as politics goes.

Keep us informed on the response, please.
aow - i hope that you'll share some of the comments of your students AND parents with us!

p.s. - where'd you say you attended university, brownie? i want to make sure my children go nowhere near it if it turns out people - and i use that term loosely - like you.
oh, you were clear, mussolini and that happens to be the left's favorite color.
i'll go with the 6.5 million number of God's people who died in the holocaust.
LoBrow,
You have been informed several times that you are not "censored" on my blog. I have merely used my discretion to prevent your postings from being published on my blog until they come with an honest admission that you're a moron.
I think this is entirely fair, particularly in the sense that it has been my experience that idiocy and leftism are like smoke and fire. You see idiocy, you'll find a leftist behind it.
But I don't "censor" people for stupidity. Otherwise no leftists at all would post on my site. Even Ducky, whenever he feels the need to be pimp-slapped around by his betters, finds the stones to be comfortable with his stupidity and post leftist crap on my blog.
But even Ducky, who wouldn't even begin to know how to outsmart a milk crate, knows when he's been bested and shuts the hell up on his own accord.
i'll attest to the fact that he's a moron, beamish. please?
Nice try beanish, I notice that you try to frame anything destructive as leftist.
Wanna play dueling military history references?
This demonstrates that you have no grasp of the strengths and weaknesses of your own positon.
Cute. In an actual logical demonstration, the premise isn't supposed to be the conclusion. Don't rush yourself in over your head Ducky. We'll get to that after you master the whole learning the difference between hankerchieves and your shirtsleeves thing.
But for now, can you walk me through the alleged weakness in my position, which has steadfastly been that leftists are idiots?
i'll attest to the fact that he's a moron, beamish. please?
Nanc,
You are but one among many credible witnesses of LoBrow's stupidity in this consensus perception construct we affectionately call reality.
LoBrow needs to acknowledge this. If no other fact passes from him hence or forth and all points in betwixt, he should at least accept something he is constantly told by a wide cross section of people as verifiably true.
It's not like a Sisyphean challenge has been issues to LoBrow. He just admits to being a moron, and presto, he's in like Flynn.
My patience has run out. 'Nuff said.
Ducky
The figure 100,000,000 does not include the deaths of WW2. The numbers include 11,000,000 starved in the Ukraine. The book attributes around 60,000,000 deaths
to Mao.
Do notice the silence of Brownstain
to the hypocrisy of condeming America for slavery and brutal treatment of indigenous people while endorsing those practices in Islamic Civ.

Pol Pot and the Khmer Roug came to power as a communist government trying to establish a utopian society that ended up killing well over 2 million Cambodians. Blaming that on the US is ridiculous. Pol Pot was originally a member of the French Communist Party. He started a Communist led revolt in 1953 in Cambodia, long before United States was even in Southeast Asia.
JB..what a to complete tool you are.
Sorry duck,
But I've no dog in the fight, other than to say, AS's depictions in "Cancer Ward" were spot-on.... and his "A Day in the Life" was mesmerizing. I found "Gulag" a little too long for may taste, but then, AS had to keep his notes hidden for many years in a place where he wouldn't be searched.... so I am rather surprised at its' length.

It would appear to users of the Internet that to avoid irrelevancy and extinction, the modern Marxist has adopted the survival tactics of the family Culicidae, only the buzzing noise they emit serves to distract, rather than attract the attention of higher species.

The crimes for which most "politicals" were sent to the gulag....

Oooops. There aren't any.

Hey, since the criminals were the trustees, who made up the other 80%? LOL!
Ever see "Enemy at the Gate"? Now you know what it means to be a member of a "penal battalion"... or a Soviet "Guard" division. Gee, I wonder why Soviet "guard" divisions always "backed up" Soviet "Penal" battalions....
Here's a rifle (empty) Ivan. Sergie, here's a clip w/five bullets. Now follow Ivan. As soon as he gets killed, pick up his weapon and load it...

ducky...A lot of people will agree with you but I think America actually kept Pol Pot out of power.
He came in 1953 and wasn't able to come into power until we were disengaging from Vietnam.
He took control of Cambodia in 1975. I will give you the fact that America's incursions cost Prince Sihanouk his popularity and helped destabilize the country.
Still, America and the French before them at least slowed his rise to power.
It's been a long time, but I've read all the Solzhenitsyn books aforementioned. All were riveting reads.
As to Applebaum's book, if I recall correctly, it is in the historical format but not nearly as engrossing.
I hardly think that Soviet files can be relied upon for accuracy.
FJ,
Marxist mosquitoes?
A lil' soap in the puddle suffocates them.
And you wondered why hippies smell.
beamish,
They don't smell, they reek!

Southpark, "Die Hippie, Die!"
Cartman: I'm talking about the end of all life as we know it. [some surprise is seen among the council members] For the past several days I've been... noticing a steep rise in the number of hippies coming to town. [puts a laptop on the table and turns it on] At first I thought maybe it was just a coincidence. [pulls a projector towards the laptop] Then I saw this... [connects the projector to the laptop, and the projector turns on. Everyone then looks at the screen. Cartman goes to it and points a few things out] Three new drum circles have sprouted up here, here, and here. They're all growing in diameter, at a rate of two hippies per hour. What this means... is that the hippies are conglomerating. They'er thriving, if you will. I think that they're setting up for a... [close-up]. hippie music festival.
Linda: A what?
Cartman: Ti's, it's simple science. Look: When hippies start to nest in a new area, it draws other hippies in. With the right weather conditions and topography, it can lead to a music festival. One that last for days, even weeks. Reggae on the River, Woodstock, Burning Man, they will all pale in comparison to what we're looking at now. In my professional opinion... I think we're looking at a full-blown hippie jam festival the size of which we've never seen. [the adults don't get it, Cartman sighs heavily]
Mayor McDaniels: Kid, what the hell are you talking about?
Cartman: I know hippies. I've hated them all my life. I've kept this town free of hippies on my own since I was five and a half. But I can't contain them on my own anymore. We have to do something, fast!
Mr. Mackey: Uh, Eric, we're, we're talkin' about potholes right now, m'kay.
Cartman: It's not potholes you need to worry about. It's potheads. I know what these people are capable of.
Mayor McDaniels: Johnson, get him out of here. [Johnson rises and goes for Cartman]
