U.S. officials have said the package – which was announced last month and must still be approved by Congress – is designed to reassure Israel and Sunni Muslim Gulf countries of Washington’s commitment to the Middle East despite its problems in Iraq. It would also strengthen the Gulf nations in the face of the growing clout of Shi’ite Iran and its nuclear program.
What’s this Bush Administration upto? Are they trying to create peace in the world or start a global Sunni-Shi’ite conflict? Have they not had enough with Palestine vs. Israel? Pakistan vs. India? Muslims vs. Hindus? Muslims vs. Jews? Muslims vs. Christians? Was there any need to spread the fire of this another sectarian conflict?
If Bush is trying to play the policeman of the world, atleast he should act like one. A policeman’s job is to keep the conflicts down, not to heat those up.
They are certainly showing creativity atleast. Earlier, it used to be “Axis of Evil – Iran, Syria and South Korea”…. and now they’ve come up with another terminology… “an Axis of Cooperation between Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and Hamas”.
Olmert has said he understands the U.S. need to bolster Saudi Arabia in facing Iran. “The increase in military aid to Israel would guarantee its strategic superiority,” Olmert has said, despite upgrades to other Arab countries in the region.
Militarily superior Israel??? Because it waged a war on Arabs back in sixties? Because it bombed Lebanon? Because it’s been killing innocent Palestinians for decades? Because it bombed Iraq’s nuclear plants while itself possessing nuclear technology? Because its threatening to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities which has signed NPT agreement? Because it is keeping thousands of innocent Palestinians in the desert, not letting them through Gaza to their homes, stranded between Egypt and Israel, withing letting them have food and medical facilities??? …. well, you’ve got a point here Mr. Olmert. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
