Commentary

Thursday, March 24, 2005

Imad Moustapha, ambassador from Syria, was answering questions at the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies at Georgetown University, and C-Span televised it.

Syria had tried to warn us about opening a Pandora’s box in the 1980’s, he said. We were enthusiastically arming and training “Holy Warriors” to fight Communists. We even urged the Saudis and Pakistanis to help out. Now Mujahideen offshoots are terrorizing everywhere.

Syria told the U.S about 2 serious terrorist plots, which were thus stopped. But the U.S still keeps Syria on the list of Terrorist nations. U.S agents constantly come to Syria for information and help, which Syria always gives to them, but still, Syria is on that list. (My comment: didn’t Ronald Reagan take Iraq off that list after Saddam made himself dictator?)

The ambassador also told the students to look up all the records of the Israeli negotiator, Bill Clinton, etc. It is always been Israel that has stopped peace talks, not Syria, he said.

Israel is mad that Hezbollah beat them militarily in Lebanon, and forced their withdrawal. Israel and us want Syria to disarm Hezbollah. But Hezbollah is Lebanese, says the ambassador, with schools and hospitals in Lebanon, and members in Parliament.

So how can the U.S and Israel insist that Syria withdraw from Lebanon, while at the same time insist that Syria control a Lebanese organization?

I only saw a small part of this C-Span show, but the web site probably has more, and their shows are often rerun. Sure, some are boring, but others are incredibly interesting, and their staff seems to have been trained so well to never indicate which side they are on. Thank you C-Span.

Must give Bush credit?
I see dead people, lost limbs,
while he chuckles, grins.

A 69-year old former rebel who tried to overthrow Castro, who put him in jail for 22 years, now is threatened with imprisonment here by our Treasury Department?

Eloy Gutierrez-Menoyo came to the U.S partly blind from Castro’s beatings, and preached non-violence to Cuban exiles, wrote Gary Marx in the Chicago Tribune, 3-15-05

Which made them really mad, apparently. So their leaders pushed our government to go after this skinny old man?

“Dialogue and reconciliation” scare US? Even as we worship the forgiveness shown in “the Prodigal Son”, and on the Cross? The 45-year-old embargo, crowned by more travel and trade restrictions, looks way more like the endless beating in that movie every “Christian” is so impressed by.

The “unapproved” dissident is back in Cuba, touring, maybe trying to build a political base. Castro seems to be tolerating him, but our “nation under God” has a quarter million $ fine on his head?

Isn’t war a really late-term abortion? Extract Saddam with a “surgical strike”. But the doctor botches the operation, so the whole womb of Iraq has to be scraped out and packed with foreigners. It’s Iraq’s own fault for getting pregnant? All by herself?

Did we implant Saddam in the 70’s? To be our big oil supplier when the Arabs cut us off? When we saw him doing like the Cuckoo bird, pushing the other eggs out of the nest, that was the time for abortion, the Chamberlain moment. But Reagan/Bush instead welcomed Saddam into our family, nourished him, and lavished money on him.

I hope Iraq recovers and gives birth to Democracy. But we implanted a lot of other dictators in the world, some of whom we now call “evil”, as if we had nothing to do with their becoming that way. Before the “doctor” performs any more really late-term abortions, I hope he will consider the equivalent of all the alternatives that “Pro-lifers” suggest.
