Edward Said dies

[Abcdxxxx]

Should I make a whole list of people Said isn't comparable to and include Kissinger? It's apples and oranges. Look, when Leni Reifenstahl died I said the same thing. These are people who cover up genocidal dreams and make them palatable to the masses. Good riddens to that.

I think we should all agree that the violence needs to end. I do hope you understand there is a school of thinking by Said and others that the violence needs to continue, and that it's the only recourse...and worse of all... that it's working. That's not a "cycle of violence", that's war mongering.
