    Rouge. As for the KR, any revolutionary movement that knowingly targets civilians for

    death or "punishment," immediately and totally, loses all credibility as a socialist or

    communist movement. Meanwhile, groups like RK has become or always were fake

    socialists or communists. While their counterparts include Mao and the Chinese

    Communist Party and Peru's Shining Path, they all together represent abominations of

    the worst sorts, especially when in collusion with Western imperialist governments.

     
       All considered, Bush's misreading of history, whether deliberately done or undertaken out
    of ignorance, provides an opportunity to investigate and clarify. At the same time, the
    truth must be exposed in order to again bring rightfully earned credibility to the authentic
    socialist and communist movements. In a similar vein, the truth concerning brutal US
    government activities, especially when behind the scenes, must be always bared! For this
    reason, Pilger has done a great service and his works deserve credit for bringing the genuine
    facts to light.
