Yesterday, in addressing a few words to Democratic Voters in the USA, I was careful to express doubts about the virtues of the candidate whom they appear to have chosen. The said candidate has now made declarations to the AIPAC which follow slavishly in the footsteps of the Clinton clan (identical to those of the Bush régime) in support of the brutal ethnic cleansing which afflicts the Holy Land.
In the USA, it is customary to describe all the area which we Europeans call the Near and Middle East using the shorter form of "Middle East". From that side of the Atlantic, we are all the "East", and it is reasonable for us to accustom ourselves to the point of view of those who live so far away to the west of us, and in the words which follow I shall stay with the shorter form.
Yesterday's declarations before the AIPAC reveal a sick nation, where the first important move by any candidate for the top office has to seek the approval of a lobby group whose openly expressed aim is to promote brutality elsewhere. One cannot describe AIPAC in any other way than as a lobby for the current successors to the Nazis with their crude (racist) discrimination against those who cannot claim to belong to their "Master Race". Ever since the end of the Second World War I have remained a steadfast believer in the slogan "Never Again" to be applied WITHOUT EXCEPTION to all forms of racist persecution, oppression and mass murder, as exemplified by the Nazi régime.
The latest news also informs us that there is agreement in the USA between the Republicans and the Democrats to stay in Iraq for ever and a day, with a new Treaty being drawn up to be imposed on the present Iraqi puppet government to reproduce the ghastly provisions forced on Iraq by the British government in the 1930's. In other words, imperial rule is to be reimposed, this time to keep Iraq within the fold of Mr Bush's "moderate" Arab states willing to support his ridiculous "War on Terra". Voters in the USA are thus left without a choice on some of the most important problems in the world, while their supposed "leaders" continue to propagate the preposterous lie that the USA are currently the only super-power on our planet.
