1. So,

Pat Robertson is responsible for Charles Taylor's crimes??

5. No, but the point is he cozies up to a BushPutinist Dictator

I wouldn't under ANY circumastances.

Not responsible, his role would be that of enabler. Certainly more than a few of that death toll were from government attacks to control and coerce Pat's striking gold miners....

8. Can we get a slightly less unwiedly word than BushPutinist?

10. Make one up then...

The New Totalitarinism (TM)

Bushevism

11. That's a pretty good question.

The obvious choice seems to me "Orwellian Democracy", but that isn't much better. You see, we have a democracy, it's merely one in which the people are kept slavishly thoughtbound to the administration--where the leaders are demagogues.

Corporate Democracy?

[whistle]

2. And the countries involved are.....?

4. Here

Efrain Rios Montt - Guatemala

Augusto Pinochet - Chile

Mobutu Sese Seko - Congo

Charles Taylor - Liberia

3. How about the Salem Witch Trials, The Inquisition, The Crusades?

These are the righteous, direct ancestors of those you mentioned, and any sort of "ethnic cleansing" is a first cousin.
