Inspect Self & the Other

Excellent article and wise comments from Mike.  
 
The profound core statement for me: \"the power to know self that one could know the condition of all and, hence, grasp the oneness that binds all humans, the ultimate moral truth.\" 
 
In his book \"Death\'s Dream Kingdom\" Walter Davis describes this dual moral obligation to (1) resolutely inspect oneself and attempt to know oneself and (2) in the same way, inspect the Other, and understand and empathize with the Other (see my review: \"Death\'s Dream Kingdom. The American psyche since 9-11\' by Walter Davis. 
 
Unfortunately the Bush-ites, neo-Bush-ites, Racist Zionists etc who dominate the Western Murdochracies, in short, (1) have certainty and do not need to inspect themselves or anyone else, and (2) hate the Other whose very existence rebukes this blind, delusional certitude. 
 
Seen thus one can well understand how the Racist Zionist-, Bush-ite and Clintonesque neo-Bush-ite-dominated Western Murdochracies are simultaneously PERPETRATING and IGNORING Palestinian Genocide, Iraqi Genocide and Afghan Genocide ( post-invasion excess deaths 0.3 million, about 2 million, 3-6 million, respectively; post-invasion under-5 infant deaths 0.2 million, 0.6 million and 2.3 million, respectively; and refugees totalling 7 million, 4.5 million and 4 million, respectively) (for detailed, documented analyses see: Lies, racist hysteria & Genocide.
