Neocons Trash George Soros in Attempt to Distract from Their Complicity in Iraq "War of Choice" Disaster
by Steve Clemons
for Huffington Post
Feb 03, 2007


"George Soros's words often kick up storms. And another storm has hit.

This time it's about comparing America today and Nazi Germany -- and how states deal with their not-so-pleasant pasts. Just for the record, Soros also included Turkey and Japan in his mix of history-denying countries that faced obstacles in approaching their futures in a healthy way.

Soros is sort of like a less careful Alan Greenspan whose wrinkled brow, or the length of pause before he spoke, or a small wink could generate political and economic tsunamis.

Soros is worth something around a couple or few tens of billions of dollars and donates through his charities half a billion dollars a year, most of this to help cultivate civil society development in former Soviet bloc countries. Recently, he has broadened his arena of concerns -- particularly in the area of global warming/climate change and doing something to help shore up global resistance to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. He has also invested a lot in trying to help us to get rid of or to get beyond the Bush presidency

......SNIP"
