Pot, Kettle, Shades of Gray

You really have to wonder at the gullibility of the masses. This story is from that bastion of credibility The Associated Press. The actual article can be read at Raw Story. Quotes from the article in question are blocked and in italics.
WASHINGTON -- Russia's use of overwhelming military force against Georgia, including strategic bombers and ballistic missiles, is disproportionate to any threat from the former Soviet state and could escalate tensions in the volatile region, a senior U.S. official said Saturday.
If we are going to talk about disproportionate force in war then we can't really rely on the Associated Press because to them proportionality doesn't seem to apply to the West and it's partners. An obvious example being The Highway of Death when Iraqi soldiers and civilians where massacred whilst attempting to comply with UN resolution 660 to leave Kuwait. Was this a proportional war crime? Only in the Western Media can war crimes be considered proportional events.

Just head on over to rawstory.com and you will see that the article practically picks itself apart

National Supremacism still OK

Consider the following quote:
“I am an Aryan. I am a German. I am a National Socialist, and I am both racially and intellectually superior to you, the Jew. For your lies, your pathetic stupidity, and your Jewish attitudes, your people will suffer under punishment of the world’s future super power, Germany! Aryans are superior to dirty blooded Jews like you… Beware, for your kind will come to fear us. The coming thirty years will make your eyes twitch Jew… I am an Aryan, you are not. I have the privilege of having God by my side.” - 14 year old Hitler Youth Member
Once you read that the above statement was actually made by a member of the Hitler Youth you understand why he thinks this way. You understand his beliefs were formed by his national media, actively encouraged by a school syllabus that reinforced his superiority, and a church/religion that backed the whole story up to it's hilt.
The last real hold out for this type of national supremacist wet dream was Apartheid South Africa who so feared for the destruction of their cherished beliefs that they managed to develop their very own nuclear weapons.
Interestingly, one of the Apartheid regimes last bastions of diplomatic support and the country that 'allegedly' gave South Africa nuclear weapon capability is the same country that the above quote really comes from:
“I am a Jew. I am an Israeli. I am a Zionist, and I am both racially and intellectually superior to you, the non Jew. For your lies, your pathetic stupidity, and your anti-Semitism, your people will suffer under punishment of the world’s future super power, Israel! Jews are superior to dirty blooded non-Jews like you… Beware, for your kind will come to fear us. The coming thirty years will make your eyes twitch my Gentile… I am a Jew, you are not. I have the privilege of having God by my side.” - 14 year old Israeli Orri Joseph Avraham.

The question now is by writing this have I become an anti-semite?
