For decades, Thomas (Tom) L. Friedman of the New York Times
has been telling the American elites and commoners what to do in the Middle East to create a Nirvana out there; one that will
rival the biblical account of the Garden of Eden … also referred to as
paradise. His formula is simple; it entails the suppression of the Arabs and
the looting of their possessions. It also entails the empowerment of the Jews
so as to help them dominate the region if not acquire it entirely by creeping
annexation.
Of course, the Americans never came close to achieving
anything like that, but Friedman and all those like him kept giving unsolicited
advice to the Americans, as if they were totally immune to feeling any sort of
shame for the mountain of failures they have inflicted on the country year
after year, decade after decade.
Then came the fateful day when Tom Friedman stood on foreign
soil – Israel to be precise – and warned then President George W. Bush that if
he did not invade Iraq, he will suffer the same fate as did his father who
refrained earlier from invading Iraq – during the first Gulf War – and was
defeated in his quest to be reelected President as a result.
Never mind that the above assertion was completely false
given that Bush Senior lost the bid to be reelected because the economy had
tanked under him. But when a chorus of Jewish voices and their running dogs
drowned all voices urging restraint, the W. took the Jewish bait and invaded
Iraq (the second Gulf War) only to see America's back getting broken there, and
leaving behind no sign of a rising Nirvana anytime soon.
Undeterred by that colossal failure, and shameless to the
core as only a Jew can be, Tom Friedman is at it again advising the Americans
what would be good for the Middle East. He says it in an article he wrote under
the title: “Contain and Amplify,” published on May 27, 2015 in the New York
Times.
To see how far off the mark Friedman can be when he speaks
of the Arabs as if they were different from everyone else, it is worth
remembering that the drive of ethnic groups everywhere on the Planet to gain
independence and be “masters in their homeland,” was detected in the 1970s and
has been gaining momentum ever since. It happened and continues to happen in
Africa, Asia, the Timor Islands , the Balkan states, Spain , Canada 's
Quebec , Belgium and many other places.
Just think about it; go to any of these places and “take
out” the central governing authority. What do you think will happen? The answer
is unavoidable: people of the same ethnic background will coalesce ... first to
protect themselves, and then to assert their authority over a piece of real
estate they will call their homeland.
This is why people, such as the leaders of Israel, getting
all the help they need from American friends such as Friedman and the
Evangelical running dogs, have pulled that trick on defenseless societies such
as the Palestinians and the Lebanese, and have pushed further by inciting
America to do likewise everywhere else in the Arab and Muslim worlds.
Now that America took the bait and did it in some places
under the guise of creating a Nirvana in the Middle East; and now that a
monster has been created – however toothless it may still be – that guy, Tom
Friedman pops up again, and tries to convince the Americans he has the formula
to fix the problems that he, Israel and the mentally retarded in America have
created.
After a rambling pseudo-analysis of what is happening in the
Middle East at this time – based on the sayings of Simon Henderson and Otto
Scharmer – Tom Friedman writes about his deep seated wishes for the region but
does it in a bemused style to hide his true feelings. This is how he said the
region can be fixed: “If an outside power totally occupies them, snuffs out
their sectarian wars, suppresses the extremists and spends the next 50 years
trying to get Iraqis, Syrians, Yemenis and Libyans to share power as equal
citizens”.
Lamenting that this will not happen, he mentions the
alternative which is that the civil wars in the region will continue unabated
till both sides in each conflict, become exhausted and seek reconciliation. He
gives the example of Lebanon
where the civil war lasted 14 years, and the example of Tunisia where
all sides came together without civil war.
But look at that picture closely, my friend. What do you
see? Well, let me tell you. There is the natural Arab tendency to reconcile. It
happened quietly in Tunisia
where there was no outside interference, and happened in Lebanon after a civil war that was instigated by
the Israeli invasion of that country … the way it happened in Iraq and Libya
after America
and its friends interfered.
The lesson to be learned here is that the time has come to
contain the Jewish influence in America ,
and to amplify that of the Arabs and the Muslims.
