Re: Isn't it exciting that, as a result of our victory, it is likely that Syria will become more democratic, that a real peace will come to Israel and that a new state of Palestine will be declared?
What victory?!? What kind of Palestinian state?? As late as 1943, Hitler and his Wehrmacht were still victorious: France and the low countries were subdued, all of Central Europe was under German occupation and Feldmarshal Rommel was forging ahead in North Africa...
As for the elusive Palestinian state, there's still the ominous possibility for the Judeofascist cabal to assassinate President Bush before he starts rolling out the so-called road map... In that case, Vice prez Cheney becomes President --and Cheney never committed himself to the road map.
All in all, I've always been confident that Bush is in earnest about a peaceful settlement in the Middle East. As I said, prez Bush is going through the same geopolitical ordeal as General De Gaulle in the early 1960s: both statesmen were threatened by fanatical, powerful fascists: France's pied-noir lobby was the historical prequel of the US's Jewish lobby. So what's the deal? The US takes out the Iraqi regime, bullies Syria and Iran... then Bush meets the Palestinian PM Abu Mazen in the White House... the road map is successfully enforced upon Israel's Likudniks... and Bob's your uncle! As the saying goes, that's just TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. I'm afraid the shockwaves of the Iraqi collapse are still reverberating throughout the region --and beyond. Here's a good metaphor of the US "successful" strike on Iraq:
The Yankee sheriff is chasing Saddam the villain in the Himalaya Mountains... One morning, the sheriff eventually spots Saddam accross the snowcapped valley --holy shit, I can't miss him, the sheriff says to himself... And he shot at the fugitive --BANG! BANG! BANG! Saddam is killed, the game's over... but soon, both Saddam and his reckless pursuer will be submersed by an avalanche...
