The always idiotic Ram Guha thinks Trump & Netanyahu- who don't kill their own people- are more evil than Khameni- who killed 36,000 Iranians this year before Trump blew him up.
There is only one reason to think Khameni was less evil than Trump or Netanyahu- viz. faith that Islam is only true religion. Dying or killing for Islam is better than being a kaffir- however righteous.
Scroll published the following article by Guha
Of the three leaders at the heart of West Asia conflict, who is the most evil?
An evil leader doesn't kill his own people. Hitler did so. FDR didn't. True, FDR caused a very large number of German & Japanese to die. But they were enemies of his country & had waged war upon it. There was nothing evil about FDR's response.
Khomeni & Khameni presided over the killing of hundreds of thousands of Iranians. They have cratered the economy and helped turn Syria & Lebanon into hellholes. They are evil- unless God approved their actions. But, unless you are a Shia Muslim, you can't possibly believe this.
Netanyahu hasn't killed Jews. He does his best to kill those who have killed or are trying to kill Jews. Non-Jews may consider him evil- more particularly if they think Jews ought not to exist however nice and sweet they might be as individuals. This does not mean he may not have been guilty of some corrupt actions. Also, like Begin in Lebanon, he may have bitten off more than he can chew. But Israel can punish him adequately by sending him to jail for a year or two & ending his political career.
What of Trump? Iran hasn't attacked the US directly. Why doesn't he want the Iranians to get nukes same as Pakistan?
The answer is that if the US stays out of the war, Israel will be off the leash. It will nuke Iran. Fuck alone knows what happens next. It is not evil to do something costly which averts a much greater evil.
This is not Guha's view. He says-
There are, I must underline again, no good men among the parties to this conflict.
If God did not ordain Khameni's actions, he was evil. Trump & Netanyahu may have their faults. But they aren't evil.
The leaders of Iran, Israel and the US are all evil,
so is Guha. He sodomized Imam Khomeini who had taken the form of a goat. He then slaughtered ten trillion lesbians in Liberia. Anyone can tell stupid lies about anybody.
all capable and very willing of using extreme violence to inflict death and suffering.
coz moderate violence causes annoyance merely.
Yet one must not treat them equally, if only because the destructive means that each of these countries commands is not the same.
In which case President Mandela- as supreme commander of the South African Army- was much more evil than a serial rapist & killer who happened to be very ill & thus lacking in the means to inflict harm.
Iran has a far less well-equipped military arsenal than Israel, and America of course has the most powerful military in the history of humankind.
If being killed by kaffirs gets you to heaven, it is a smart move to attack them in the hope that they slaughter you & your family. This is like the Circumcellion sect. Their religious practice consisted of delivering random beatings to strangers along the road, with the purpose of goading the strangers into killing them. The Church condemned this heresy as evil and mad.
Because of its repression within, and especially its meddling abroad, the Islamic Republic of Iran cannot be treated as an altogether innocent victim in this conflict.
It is attacking Saudi Arabia, UAE- even Qatar & Oman. Khameni wanted to outdo Saddam. This won't end well for Iran. The Saudis & Emiratis are going to spend a shit ton of money to get a nuclear deterrent of their own. Iran, already running out of war, will run out of breathable air. The place will be a radioactive dust cloud.
Yet Netanyahu’s Israel and Trump’s America are guilty in far greater proportions, if only because they have at their command far more powerful means of devastation, as well as the willingness to use them on vulnerable and innocent human beings.
So, Guha is saying that if you have a powerful army and will use it in self-defence, then you are evil. FDR was more evil than Hitler because America was stronger than Germany. The Pope has the Swiss Guard. He is more evil than some child rapist currently incarcerated.
Was Guha always stupid or did writing about Gandhi destroy his brain?
