Superpower prudence [Archives:2002/36/Focus]

COMMON SENSE
By Hassan Al-Haifi
Understandably, the United States is quite upset about the senseless attacks of September 11, 2001 and surely the world should do all it can to bring justice to the perpetrators. However, American foreign policy, especially towards this area of the world, should not be solely determined by the heinous attack on so many civilians for which the overwhelming majority of the citizens of the Middle East region and the Moslem World are completely innocent. On the other hand, September 11, 2001 should never be any justification for setting the course of American foreign policy based on the questionable whims of Zionist ideologues of the likes of Ariel Sharon. It would be a serious mistake to think that the Zionist state represents “civilized western mores and behavior” in the region and anything else associated with the region otherwise is to be construed as part of the evil that brought on September 11, 2001.
After fifty years of uncivilized behavior as a state and thirty years of underground terrorism by Zionist aliens in Palestine before that, supported by a well organized international conspiracy, surely Israel could never be in anyway the kind of ideals that Americans should commit themselves to backing.
In fact, if American foreign policy makers remain continuously oblivious to the threat of Zionism to the future security and welfare of the United States, then surely September 11, 2001 has not taught the real lessons to be learned from the criminal (by Moslem, as well as all standards) attacks on the United States a year ago.
For one thing, the only direct beneficiary of the attacks on New York and Washington so far has been Ariel Sharon and his band of merciless Zionist demagogues, for they have been given a free hand to carry out their criminal designs in Palestine unrelentlessly and systematically, without regards to any human mores. Surely, the sophistication of the attacks on New York (notwithstanding the great publicity efforts to associate Ben Laden and his band of myriad renegades alone with the highly precisioned and synchronized attacks), lends strong support to the exiswtence of more sophisticated institutional support behind the attacks. Therefore, it is somewhat ludicrous to simply end the investigation with the conclusion that once Ben Laden and his so called “Al-Qaeda” network are broken up, then the perpetrators of the attacks have been dealt with punitively and things can go on as usual. For sure, there is a lot more involved behind the attacks, then “Moslem fanatics” on the loose not knowing what to do with their money, except to destroy human lives in the most bizarre of methods.
In fact, American foreign policy based on such simplistic conclusions would be construed as naïve. On the other hand, judging from the recent directions of American strategic moves for the region, it would seem that American foreign policy has become gullible to Zionist allusions that Islam and the Arab World are the origins of all the headaches that the “West” will be subjected to for the next phase of the human experience. There is no question that Islam and the Arabs can never accept a wrong in the form of an Israeli state, forcefully implanted in their midst, that seeks to engulf everything and anything that stands in its way of achieving the Zionist destiny of Eretz Israel, from the “Nile to the Euphrates”. The history of the formation of that state and the continuous systematic disregard for the rights of the remaining Palestinians, we are seeing on a daily basis butchered by Israeli tanks and Apache Helicopters, for simply saying, “Hay, we are humans too, and we have done nothing to continuously become victims of the worst atrocities, since the Nazism of Hitler and the Ethnic cleansing of Slobodan Melsovitch (to which the Zionist state provided ‘technical assistance’). There is no reason not to presume a Zionist string tied to the attacks of September 11, 2001, because Zionist dogma does justify using any method to achieve a desired end. Thus, we are urging American foreign policy makers to look seriously at the very strong possibility that the perpetrators of September 11, 2001 may be closer to home than they ever thought, before going on wild adventures in Afghanistan, Iraq or Iran, based on being spoon fed wild evidence, such as a ridiculously orchestrated weapons deal between “Israel and Iran”. We do not underestimate the capabilities of the international Zionist establishment and neither should the United States, if they really know what is good for the interests and security of the United States and the world at large.
