This story that the US was always planning to foment democracy in the Middle East only surfaced after the Bush crowd was caught lying about the original justification for their mass killing; WMDs. Not only has the violent external imposition of democracy NEVER worked before, it's a truly pathetic substitution for coherent diplomacy, coupled with enforced economic sanctions. Without fail, every time the US has meddled underhandedly in the political affairs of another country, it has backfired on us. As it has now again. I just read the responses of Sens. McCain and Biden on the situation in Iraq. A complete failure. Your demonizing of the Islamic world is interesting- another piece of revisionist propaganda by the Bush machine. As I said earlier, when you cage people and poke sharp sticks at them, as we have done to Iraq, then when they lash out in anger, it is easy to use that as justification for your initial wrong actions. Police use this occasionally to justify killing someone. There are adherents in the Islamic world who are every bit as radical as the Christian fundamentalists. Ironically they are now finding fertile ground for violently forwarding their agenda- something that was not possible before we declared war on them, at least not in a unified way. Just as we are now using the violent response to our Sin as further justification to escalate our warring, so are the Islamic radicals using our warring as justification for their continued violent response against us. And I totally understand that what the US is doing militarily is seen as an intelligent response from the standpoint of the ignorance of waking state consciousness. Unfortunately, long term it will only culture further violence against the US, and is doomed to failure and further suffering. Very stupid policy. ------------------------ Yahoo!
