Every thinking person in the world knows that, notwithstanding selective outrage against this or that crime outside the West that they display on cue, most people of the West not only do not despise but tolerate, even vote for, a filthy primitive social system that has its soldiers invade many countries, supports brutal client states, employs death squads, etc., raping, mutilating, and killing untold numbers of men, women, and children, not just when they don’t know but even when they do know at least a little of that’s what’s happening, as in the case of the Iraq War. (The same system also locks up millions and executes many at home, in the case of the USA.)
There’s hardly a person on this list who’d disagree with this. But
it’s another thing entirely to go on about Ahmadinejad recovering the
anti-imperialist message of Khomeini. It discredits the fight against
imperialism to associate it with a thug like Khomeini.
