The American Spectator

p> Jed Babbin replies: br> Dear Mr. Idroos: Your statement is simply ignorant and anti-historical. The Middle East map was redrawn by France and Britain in the 1920s, and it has been France, Germany and Russia which have built and maintained the despotisms of the region precisely for the reason you blame America: for the oil. Iran? A democracy? Have you read any newspapers since 1979? Iran is the mother of Islamic fascism and terrorism. I wonder: when will Old Europe stop blaming America for all the world’s ills and become responsible again for its own defense? I’ll make you a deal. The next time we have to fight the Germans, the loser has to keep Belgium. br> — Jed Babbin /p> p> Nazim Idroos replies: br> Hmmm! So is it not thanks to America that the Saudi regime has survived all this long even though the British installed the Wahabbis. Was it not because of America that the terrorist state of Israel still exists? Was it not because of the CIA that Reza Pahlavi, the hated Iranian Shah came to power 1n 1956? Is it not because of America that the hated regime of King Hassan (Morocco) managed to survive? Was it NOT America that was involved in the contra-affair supplying arms to Iran via Israel while openly supporting a brutal dictator in Iraq. And the Jordanians, whose friend is that? And the dictators who run Turkey with a democracy for cover? Who supports them? And Egypt who sustains the brutal dictator? The world will learn how brutal Hosni Mubarak is only when he falls out of favor from his American handlers. Tell me of a single American newspaper that brands Mubarak as a dictator? This is American hypocrisy at its best!! /p>

Tell me of a regime that has killed more human beings than America since 1940, starting with the massacre of the Japanese (innocent ones mostly) through Vietnam(innocent ones mostly), South America, Africa and Asia (innocent ones mostly) and Afghanistan (newly married couples mostly), the rotten juveniles cannot even shoot straight)! Stalin’s purge of all the Jews and unfriendly elements in the Politburo was peanuts in comparison.

You should read Noam Chomsky. Nice man and says a lot of good things.

p>One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. So it depends. America and Israel rub shoulders in that matter. Mother of all terrorism, and the spoilt child. It seems that it is you who seemed to have a lost touch of reality. Sleep well (because it makes you recall events more precisely)! br> — Nazim Idroos /p>

P.S. Sorry you guys are soaked in blood!!
