Gus > So, why does the US, a multiracial polity of 300 million, seek to emulate Israel's supremacist hubris?
You know the answer to this even better then I do. US foreign policy has nothing to do with the multiracial nature of the American people, but it has everything to do with the clique which runs Washington. Some call them the NWO. You call them Judeofascists. I prefer to call them the neocons, and leave it at that. Whatever one calls them, it's clear what their agenda is even though there may be some argument as to whether the "concern" for Israel takes precedence over world oil control which has been an American ambition since WW2 and before that a British one. Indeed, it would seem the "concern" for Israel dovetails neatly into the program for control over the oil and, furthermore, provides a religious facade, even an excuse, for US interference in the region. I know we have argued about this at length and I don't believe there is any way it can be resolved simply because both considerations have now merged into one, namely, the War on Terrorism.
> Americans will eventually figure out that it's unwise --and ultimately suicidal-- for the US to replicate Israel's behavior on a world scale.
But that's the game the Americans are playing with their economics too -- either the world spends all its savings financing US debt or the US takes the world down with it. Exactly like Israel -- either the Palestinians accept peace on Israel's terms (whatever they are if, indeed, there are any?) or else there will be no peace.
> the same sociopolitical dynamics won't pan out for the US, I'm afraid, and the more the latter apes its Israeli Svengali, the more it hastens its own demise....
For a long time now the US has reveled in its own good fortune as well as the misfortune and wars of others. Associated with this, the best brains in the world aspired to be American citizens, if only to escape persecution or other problems elsewhere. This has enabled the US to create a standard of living for itself and a way of life which was unrivalled anywhere. Unfortunately, nothing stands still particularly a standard of living which depends on the efforts of others to sustain it. Thus, IMO, what we are seeing in the world today, and will continue to see for some time, is a manifestation of the US urge to empire and an attempt to acquire by force and also by the creation of money from fresh-air what the US needs to sustain its "freedoms" and way of life -- and just as every empire before it, this one will also fail. |
