01-12-07 - U.S. policies have made Israel less safe, experts say The conclusion that the United States has made Israel less safe and the growing criticism of Bush administration policy are ironic, to put it mildly. Securing Israel, America's closest ally in the region, was one of the Bush administration's justifications for toppling Saddam and for promoting democracy throughout the region
America invaded Iraq at the behest of Israel and its minions in the US - the neocons. In fact, it's safe to say that Bush's entire Middle East agenda is crafted by Cheney and the neocons. He sure as hell isn't listening to the ISG, now is he? Bush relied heavily on Natan Sharansky's book about Middle Eastern democracy as well. All of these policies are now backfiring, and it's all being blamed on Bush. Half of the blame rests with Israel and the neocons. None of these policies have made the US any safer. To the contrary. The US (again at the behest of Israel) has run roughshod over moderates in the region and has refused to engage in diplomacy in the region - thereby encouraging extremism. Diplomacy at the barrel of a gun will continue to bite us in the ass (as it has done with Israel) over time.
