Putting it together: US Middle East Policy is coming apart
07/14/2006
In the larger perspective, the current crises in the Middle East are due to the fact that the United States Middle East policy is coming apart at the seams. The US wanted to promote democracy in the Middle East. Result number one is the Iraqi non-government. In addition to corruption, disunity and incompetence, the Iraq situation is generating headlines that are so absurd that one doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
The speaker of Iraq’s parliament, Mahmoud al-Mashhadan, delivered the following opinion on the origins of violence in Iraq:
…These acts are not the work of Iraqis. I am sure that he who does this is a Jew and the son of a Jew.
I can tell you about these Jewish, Israelis and Zionists who are using Iraqi money and oil to frustrate the Islamic movement in Iraq and come with the agent and cheap project.
No one deserves to rule Iraq other than Islamists…
US citizens can be proud of how their tax dollars are at work to create a democratic Iraq, and their sons and daughters are dying in order to prop up the regime represented by Mahmoud al-Mashhadan….
