Englishman,
Churchill made a huge error in using the term, "Little Eichmanns," to describe WTC workers. It was a totally irrational statement that was hurtful and unfair towards WTC victims. There is no justifiable argument otherwise in my opinion. Even if he uses the rationale of WTC victims being willing supporters of the entity that is causing the problem, there is a massive gap between levying sanctions against a rouge state that probably enabled starvation and attempting to systematically eliminate an entire race with malicious intent. Again, there is just no way to reasonably make that comparison.
All that said, the main message of his writing is simply his extreme assessment of United States foreign policy. And, quite frankly, it's not much more extreme than the view of many people who actually follow media reports from around the world rather than just watching Fox News, reading conservative weblogs and listening to right wing talk radio. If you ask me the guy blames way too many of the world's problems on the U.S. and ignores the good that the United States does. Still, it doesn't in any way qualify as irrational hate speech in my opinion and people who take the time to read what he writes will realize that he's is more lucid than he is portrayed on television.
