back up your assertions of genocide?

I have to wonder about your committment to progressive ideals if you are willing to allow this genocide to take place and do nothing more than type on a message board.

If it is truly as bad as you say then why aren't you forming a Lincoln Brigade and joining the struggle? Could it be that your hyperbole outstrips your outrage?

"The Lincolns fought alongside approximately 35,000 anti-fascists from fifty-two countries who, like themselves, were organized under the aegis of the Comintern, and who also sought to "make Madrid the tomb of fascism." In keeping with Popular Front culture, the Americans named their units the Abraham Lincoln Battalion, the George Washington Battalion, and the John Brown Battery. Together with the British, Irish, Canadian, and other nationals they formed the Fifteenth In- ternational Brigade. ("Lincoln Brigade" is a misnomer originating with an American support organization, Friends of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade.) One hundred twenty-five American men and women also served with the American Medical Bureau as nurses, doctors, technicians, and ambulance drivers."
