Subject: RE: Article
The author could have made his point in one paragraph. His point
is that Bush has been engaged in a good faith and largely succcessful
effort to gain Iranian of acceptance of a large scale and quasi-permament
US military presence in Iraq and certain Gulf states. Thanks
to this US military presence the US would block Iranian hegemonism.
Thanks to president Bush, the Iranian threat to the region
would recede. US policy under Bush could be defined by one
word -- RESOLVE.
Nonsense. US policy can be better defined by a different word
-- APPEASEMENT. The goal of US policy was and is to make concession
after concession to Iran in the hope Iran would assist with a
face-saving withdrawal of US forces from Iraq. Unfortunately
for Bush, Iran does not want to play along bwith Bush's game.
Hitler Germany did not want concessionsf from France and the
UK. Hitler wanted war with France and the UK so he coukd wipe
out the shame of WWI, restore German's rightful postion as the
ruler of Europe, and destroy Bolshevik Russia. In word, Hitler
wanted VICTORY, as does Ahmadinejad
Meanwhile, the US continues to retreat from and appease Iran.
The latest and most craven US policy (may Bush roast in Hell
for this) is the US-approved invitation from Iraq for Ahmadinejad
to visit Baghdad. Ahmadinejad wants to dance his "victory
jig" in Baghdad just has Hitler did in Paris, 1940. Ahmadinejad
wants to signal the region that Iran, not Bush, is in charge
of Iraq. Bush will fulfill Ahmadiejad's wishes.
