Oh my, a typical Middle Eastern conspiracy theory, of the same sort that held Arafat must be an Israel stooge because his stupid acts gave Israel the excuse to come in and put down terrorists. Saddam and the Pharaohs of Tehran exchanged just such charges throughout their eight year war.
No Ali Reza, Ahmedinezhad doesn’t say the vicious, stupid, and evil things that he says because he is some stooge of Bush. He says those things because he either believes them or thinks it will bring him political profit to say them. You will never have a realistic understanding of international affairs so long as you remain mired in such fantastical conspiracy theories. Stupidity, inertia, and malevolence are much stronger factors than conspiracies. And the “conspiracies” that the conspiracy theorists identify are, almost invariably, fictional. People who concentrate on such fictional conspiracies have a tendency to overlook the rare real one right in front of their noses. You seem to be doing just that with Osama bin Laden, since you ascribe some deference and dependence on his part to Bush and America. Osama really did set up a worldwide conspiracy, but all too many try to explain it away and prefer the fictional ones instead. It’s a similar attitude to the one that left Stalin unaware of Hitler’s preparations for Barbarossa. Stalin had a preconceived fictional conspiracy firmly in mind, and so overlooked the real one.
As for American “REAL” democracy, we will vote ourselves, without any foreigners telling us what to do, thankyouverymuch. And one or the other candidate will win, according to how the voters of America essess him (or her, Hillary is still in). Senator Obama may win. After all, Jimmy Carter won. The voters do not always choose wisely. As Robert Heinlein once put it, “Vox populi, vox dei” often translates as “My God, how did we get into this mess?”
Hamas has already praised Senator Obama. In his talks about foreign affairs Senator Obama shows an astonishing naivete about the subject. For example, he seems to think that because the President of the USA is not directly sitting down with, say Hugo Chavez, to negotiate with him, that the US is not “talking to” Venezuela. If you take a good look at Senator Obama what you will see is that in the White House his Administration most likely will be the Second Coming of Jimmy Carter’s Administration. I think we all remember how much respect the Iranian theofascists had for him.
How much respect will Arabs and other Middle Easterners give to a national leader who, as Senator Obama has promised to do, runs away from a fight his country is in? What honor will he, or the nation he heads, retain? And will that lead to more war against the USA or less? I think the answers are: none, none, and a much bigger war. Senator Obama does not even understand the questions.
