You just gave an example that completely contradicted your case.

The US pushed democracy and let Hamas be elected even though we knew it was a possibility.

You really are full of shit.

Here is a case where they can let an ally do it for them.[/quote]

What are you talking about?

You said the US would not allow foriegn people to vote for the wrong guy and then the next sentence gave an example where the US did exactly that.

Hamas provoked yet another battle with Israel. We had nothing to do with it.

It is time to put down the bong son. You are making no sense at all.

What about Iraq? We fought to give Iraq elections. They elected a PM that refuses to denounce Hezbollah.

Howard Dean called the man an anti-Semite. How could we possible let this happen?

With your false world view this man would be a puppet for the US and Israel yet clearly he is not.

I read Zinn’s History of the United States pages 76- 81 like you said. I could find nothing aggregious there.
As for that article. I don’t know Kazin but i do know that Maurice Isserman was a democratic socialist, i assume, he still is, he also use to teach at Smith college in Northampton Mass. I don’t know if he still does.
I still can’t understand why you would call the work " ( a), evil masterpiece"?
You have to remember that in scholarship a critique of another’s work is what they do, they do it practically all the time. I am wondering if Howard saw the article and what is thoughts are.
