WHEN WILL WE REALISE DEALING WITH PAKISTAN, AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ, IT IS ALL ABOUT DECEPTION
We are wasting huge resources, especially American lives, maintaining a military presence in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Middle East has been a basket case since the fall of the Ottoman Empire nearly 100 years ago. The States could remain in the region for the next five hundred years and still achieve nothing. Every country of the Muslim world is rancid with corruption and double dealing. President Obama, like his predecessor thinks one solution to control Al Qaeda and the Taliban is by propping up Pakistan. For twenty years we have been handing $billions upon $billions to a military dictatorship (the current President is just a puppet) that is nothing but an enemy as big as Iran. The Pakistani military provide not only training for the terrorist groups but also arms. On the one hand they will send a couple of armored jeeps deep into Al Qaeda territory with mounted cameras to send pictures back to America showing how they are cracking down on the terrorist cells while at the same time they are aiding, abetting and helping train these filthy thugs of the first order. Pakistan, because of it historical ties to Great Britain can have these evil cowards trained up and sent to Europe with little difficulty ready to wreak havoc upon us.
While our war mongering military leaders want to increase our military presence in Afghanistan (they no longer do the same for Iraq, because the fact is it is a lost cause) all the other expert observers are telling us to hold off. This is why President Obama is in a quandary and appears to be sitting on his hands. Why can’t he realize the Middle East is full of double dealers totally adept at the art of deception? The fanatical Muslims even hate their own more moderate brethren. That influence is already destabilizing the more progressive Muslim countries and they literally are constantly living in fear of an “Iran type revolution” taking place within their borders.
Most Muslim countries have difficulty coming to grips with those extremists demanding to turn back the clock of civilization a thousand years let alone America trying to convince them it is all about freedom and democracy. We are square peg in the Middle East being forced into a round hole. The only answer to sort out terrorism and fanaticism is to invest heavily in Israel who know exactly what is going on with their neighbors. A hugely strong Israel will create a “balance of power” situation similar to the Cold War theory with the Soviet Union, which worked. The next is to pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan altogether and let civil wars take place there where the best man wins. Every fanatical Muslim terrorist will have a new raison d’être and America will immediately fall off their radar screens. The Taliban did a great job in getting rid of the drug lords amongst other things in Afghanistan. Fanatics have had a great time over the last twenty years screwing up Pakistan. Iraq was actually quite a stable country in many ways when Saddam Hussein was around. If you judge what goes on in the Middle East by our standards the situation is quite abhorrent, but listen when you’re looking at peoples who want to return to the Dark Ages as quickly as possible and you attempt to walk a mile in their moccasins, there is some sense to their behavior.
My belief is let them battle it out amongst themselves for the next thousand years. In the meantime we may be able to get on with our own lives and concentrate dealing with the menace of India and China!
