From Nero and Caligula to Idid Amin Dada and Saddam: they all had their supporters and beneficiaries. *A regime does not need majority support to survive. All it needs is a ruthless elite, a minority of supporters (or priviligentsia), and an apathetic or intimidated majority. *Consider our present situation, or the regime in Yerevan and the garbage dump of the Diaspora. Who profits? The mafias in the Homeland and the academics in the Diaspora. The academics can always count on the political and financial support of our elites provided they concentrate on the Middles Ages and the Massacres and ignore our present problems by pretending we have none or if we have any, time will solve them if not in two than in three generations.*Why are you so tough on your fellow Armenians? I am asked once in a while by concerned readers. I am not tough on Armenians. I am tough on deceivers, dividers, and bloodsuckers regardless of nationality. I am tough on all victimizers. Now then, identify yourself please. Are you a victimizer or a victim? If you are a victim, why do you object to my speaking up against your tormentors?*Why is it that some very smart and learned Armenians confuse anti-charlatanism with anti-Armenianism? Why is it that some very cunning Armenians in their defense of their own selfish, narrow interest will voice reasons worthy of an inbred moron?
