i skipped to the china part (cuz thats all i was really interested in) and jesus... by the end of that 2 minute section he is about a breath away from either falling asleep or just dying on camera. he is remarkably coherent for 94, though.

      A hit piece is not good if it's premise is proven wrong by the author himself in the second paragraph.

        His reasons were proven wrong, explaining those reasons means nothing. Everyone knows the true intentions of imperialism are obscured, he is buying into the pretenses. What an awful response.

          No he isn't. At that time he thought that the US is the only thing that could save the kurds from mass murder. I wonder if he would say the same today (probably not), but this is clearly a necessary bad decision on his books and saying he supports us imperialism or the occupation of syria based on this is, well, awful.
