Heksegryta i Midtøsten

[UglaSukk]

Ganske merkelig å lese hva Michael Ledeen skrev i 2002 som argument for å angripe Irak :

 

“He [brent Scowcroft] fears that if we attack Iraq (...) it could turn the whole region into a cauldron. ( heksegryte )"

 

Ledeen fortsetter :

 

“One can only hope that we turn the region into a cauldron, and faster, please. If ever there were a region that richly deserved being cauldronized, it is the Middle East today."

 

Poenget hans er at ut av dette vil det springe opp nye demokratiske samfunn. Han skriver 2005 :

 

“The fires of freedom are burning all over Iran, Syria, and Lebanon. Don’t stand back and admire the flames. Push the dictators in, and then cheer as free societies emerge.”

Kom over dette i en artikkel fra Le Monde Diplomatique som ser på i hvilken grad heksegryta i Midtøsten er skapt bare for at Israel skal kunne ture fram :

 

"...it’s stunning to think just how much their strategy of regime change and chaos helped transform our world and the Greater Middle East for the worse, and to be reminded that its ultimate goal, at least in those early days, was in large part to keep Israel from having to pursue a peace deal with the Palestinians."
