I see that the name of Alison Weir has come up in this discussion. It may be illuminating to look at (one of) her websites. http://www.councilforthenationalinterest.org/new/category/cni/weir/ The Council for the National Interest Working for Middle East Policies that Serve the National Interest I am intrigued by the idea that there is one place in the world, the Middle East, where the US pursues polices that do not serve the national interest. Elsewhere, Cuba, Venezuela, Libya, Ukraine, etc. the U. S. is effectively working for its national interest and therefore we have no need to criticize those policies. Why is that? Why would US policy in one region be so much at variance with policies elsewhere? ken h _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
