"progr
essive" intellectual Noam Chomsky declared that occasional rumors of
unsavory doings were the results of a CIA plot.
A holocaust was in motion, and we turned our backs.87  We are doing
the same today toward the ubiquitous genocide in black Africa and the
hatred aimed against us by a host of Islamic nations we insist on calling our
friends.  Why?
For the same reason that one animal passing another it knows to be
much bigger stares in another direction.  Far from possessing the pugnacity
of an Otto von Bismarck, we have taken our knocks in the pecking order and
we sense that we are moving down.  Like the chimp who hopes he can cling
to his preeminence by ignoring a rival, we toy with our equivalent to a
banana peel.  And while events of grisly horror ground down humans by the
millions, we simply turn away.
