After a week-long visit to U.S. cronies in the Middle East, including Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, Missy Rice concludes that “the whole of the Mideast wants peace”. Sure. And the only way to achieve that lofty goal is when the last imperial U.S. stormtrooper will have perished in the desert sands and the Jewish people will have been liberated from the Zionist yoke.
Some say Israel is a lackey of the U.S. and some say the U.S. is a lackey of Israel. Powerful arguments supporting the latter opinion are laid out in “The Power of Israel in the United States” by sociology professor emeritus James Petras of Binghampton University in New York. (to order the book at Amazon, click on the title in the side bar under Books Top 50).
Petras convincingly argues how the Ziocons (that is the Israeli Zionists and their American lackeys) have lied and pushed and cheated to destroy the sovereign state of Iraq and murder 650,000 of its people (and still counting) and are now once again on the war path to launch a war of aggression against Iran.
Bush should be impeached and hauled before the International Criminal Court, but that won't solve the problem as the Democrats are even more pro-Zionist than the Republicans. A broad-based world front is needed to prevent the Ziocons from starting another war. The leaders of the anti-imperialist struggle used to be revolutionary movements such as the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP). They have been marginalized. But a new powerful alliance is forming between the socialist movements in Latin America (Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, Equador, Nicaragua) and the rising stars in the Middle East, Ahmedinejad, Nasrallah and Meshaal. An unlikely alliance, but the anti-imperialist struggle requires strange bedfellows. Unite all who can be united to defeat the No 1 enemy.
One last question: which side is China on?
