Re: Having read so many of your posts I now realize that it describes you perfectly. Your complete willingness to defend anti-democratic and totalitarian regimes appears to be for the sole purpose of feeding your rabid anti-americanism. Indeed, it doesn't appear to me as though you have any other cause but the one.
Eddy,
First, let me thank you for your uninterrupted attention... It's really heartening for me to know that I'm not rambling on in a vacuum <g> Now, as regards my "rabid anti-americanism", I must once again set the record straight. Somehow, your branding me as an anti-American freak is but the mirror image of Thomas M. Indeed, your whole PR endeavour is to bundle --indeed equate-- as fast as possible anti-Zionism with anti-Americanism. You anxiously struggle to pretend that anti-Zionists --and even anti-Likud people-- are merely a subspecies of anti-Americans. But I'm not the least deceived by your pathetic smear tactics --mine is to demonstrate that one can be passionately anti-Judeofascist while, at the same time, steadfastly PRO-American...
Now you may wonder, why yours is Thomas M.'s mirror image of sorts? Well, because Thomas follows a top-down tack: his critique of the US government/policies eventually casts America as the (evil) prime mover of each and every geopolitical crisis... Hence his Mideast/Israel rationale: the root cause lies with America, the White House, President Bush, the American (hawkish) establishment --Israel is just the monstrous offspring of the American empire... Through Thomas' prism, Anti-Americanism somehow trickles down to anti-Zionism whereas Eddy favors a bottom-up approach. Eddy's point is to claim that anti-Zionism is but the first step towards anti-Americanism, that anti-Zionism is the flip side of anti-Americanism. I believe both viewpoints are wrong.
