That sole sentence alone illustrates what that guy is: a clown. He speaks to make impact, pure demagoguery. So, what about the DNA of the Ottomans, or the Japanese, perhaps the Mongols? And the Russians? What about the Chinese? And the Rwandans? What about Tamerlane? and the DNA of Cambodians? 

But anyway, it's what people want to listen. One side absolutely, without nuances and without any knowledge about history 

It’s a metaphor because obviously “Western civilization” is not a biological organism that literally has DNA.  It is also historically accurate, as either eliminating indigenous people or colonizing them was an integral part of the expansion of western civilization.  Hedges is a Pulitzer Price-winning journalist who left the New York times after he was formally reprimanded for publicly criticizing the U.S. invasion of Iraq.  Hedges was far too nuanced to work for the mass media. Yes, he is hated by those interested in perpetual wars because he tells the truth.

That's inherent to the expansion of any civilization, not just Western civilization. Islam was aggressively expansionist and colonized a huge part of the world, which is now Islamic. The Romans, the Mongols, they all did the same thing. The idea is that you either submit or you die.

Many prominent people have criticized the invasion of Iraq, same than the Iranian war . The real motives for that invasion are impossible to openly admit: a show of force, protection of the petrodollar, elimination of adversaries,. maintenance of the status quo of world boss. The US can't say this; it has to say it was done for democracy, freedom, weapons of mass destruction, and the values of goodness and human rights, but obviously nobody believes that.

Yeah and it's working. It was ramping up and now nobody's talking about it. Crazy how the propaganda machine works.
