520    "In this impressive book, Edward S. Herman and David 
       Peterson examine the uses and abuses of the word 
       'genocide'. They argue persuasively that the label is 
       highly politicized and that in the United States it is 
       used by the government, journalists, and academics to 
       brand as evil those nations and political movements that 
       in one way or another interfere with the imperial 
       interests of U.S. capitalism. Thus the word 'genocide' is 
       seldom applied when the perpetrators are U.S. allies (or 
       even the United States itself), while it is used almost 
       indiscriminately when murders are committed or are alleged
       to have been committed by enemies of the United States and
       U.S. business interests. One set of rules applies to cases
       such as U.S. aggression in Vietnam, Israeli oppression of 
       Palestinians, Indonesian slaughter of so-called communists
       and the people of East Timor, U.S. bombings in Serbia and 
       Kosovo, the U.S. war of 'liberation' in Iraq, and mass 
       murders committed by U.S. allies in Rwanda and the 
       Republic of Congo. Another set applies to cases such as 
       Serbian aggression in Kosovo and Bosnia, killings carried 
       out by U.S. enemies in Rwanda and Darfur, Saddam Hussein, 
       any and all actions by Iran, and a host of others."--
