“America is the best ally we could possibly have”.
I devoutly hope so, but if the Democrats do to you what they did to South Vietnam and Cambodia we will deserve whatever subsequent disasters come upon us. The liberals and leftists here in the USA do not understand that ratting on an ally is a profoundly stupid and immoral thing to do. They see it only through the prism of their partisan selfishness.
If the Arabs are ever going to escape the twin disasters of corrupt secular tyrannies or fanatically religous tyrannies Iraqis will have to pioneer the way. For the rest of us, without the extension of consensual government among the Arabs there will just be a continuing escalation of terrorism. We will respond to that and the response eventually will be as terrible as the terrorists’ mode of warfare or worse. For that reason George Bush and the dreaded Neocons were the Arabs’ best friends, since they wanted to suppress the Islamist terrorism before that point is reached.
