Genocide
This Day in History: April 7th
On this day in 1994, Rwandan armed forces kill 10 Belgian peacekeeping officers in a successful effort to discourage international intervention in the genocide that had begun only hours earlier. In approximately three months, the Hutu extremists who controlled Rwanda brutally murdered an estimated 500,000 to 1 million innocent civilian Tutsis and moderate Hutus in the worst episode of ethnic genocide since World War II.
The immediate roots of the 1994 genocide dated back to the early 1990s, when President Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu, began using anti-Tutsi rhetoric to consolidate his power among the Hutus.

KIEV, Ukraine - The Holocaust has a landscape engraved in the mind's eye: barbed-wire fences, gas chambers, furnaces.
Less known is the "Holocaust by Bullets," in which over 2 million Jews were gunned down in towns and villages across Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. Their part in the Nazis' Final Solution has been under researched, their bodies left unidentified in unmarked mass graves.

Castro Praises Nobel Prize for Obama
George JoyceWhen Confucius was once asked about being praised he made sure to qualify his answer by noting that he’d prefer to be admired by the good people and hated by the bad.News is emerging from Cuba that the communist dictator Fidel Castro has praised the Nobel Committee for its recent decision to award the Peace Prize to Barack Obama:
"I don't always share the positions of [the Nobel Committee] but I'm obligated to recognize that in this instance it was, in my judgment, a positive measure.”
Castro went on to note that the Obama Peace Prize decision was more than anything else a repudiation of “the genocidal policies that not a few presidents of that country have followed.”In other words, by helping to liberate millions of Iraqis and Afganis from brutal tyrannies George Bush was committing “genocide” according to Castro.
Why does Fidel Castro accuse “not a few” American presidents of “genocide” but praise Barack Obama? The answer can be found in a short but profound section of Machiavelli’s classic leadership manual, The Prince:
“And anyone who becomes lord of a city used to living in liberty and does not destroy it may expect to be destroyed by it, because such a city always has as a refuge, in any rebellion, the spirit of liberty and its ancient institutions, neither of which is never forgotten either because of the passing of time or because of the bestowal of benefits.”
Simply put, Castro’s tyranny is much safer with Obama leading the “free” world than George Bush. Once the “spirit of liberty” germinates in a society a tyrant’s days are numbered.Machiavelli’s message offers in addition some advice for Barack Obama: unless a leader destroys it completely “the spirit of liberty and its ancient institutions” will never be forgotten, despite “the passing of time and the bestowal of benefits.”

New York-Based Muslim's Web Site Calls for God to 'Kill the Jews'
By Joshua Rhett Miller Tuesday, October 13, 2009 A New York bicycle cabbie who last year used his Web site to mock the beheading of journalist Daniel Pearl posted a prayer calling for the murder of Jews and exhorting Muslims to “throw liquid drain cleaner in their faces." And there's nothing authorities can do about it. Yousef al-Khattab, who runs RevolutionMuslim.com and pedals a pedicab in New York City, insists the words he has posted on his Web site are a prayer, and not a threat — and that his hatred is protected by the First Amendment.Obama Administration Goes Third World Thug on Israel

by Christopher Badeaux (The New Ledger) Barack Obama’s India-Pakistan Mess As an eight year-old boy, I had a handful of treasured possessions: A stuffed dog; a tiny Gizmo who would grow and distort in water (I religiously kept him dry, small, and cute); the first G.I. Joe Snake-Eyes action figure; and a 1983 World Almanac, marked up and annotated with news, trivia, and facts culled from every periodical, TV news program, and library book I could reach. Pretty standard, really.
