It happens at times that I get a memory flashback that takes
me decades into the past – as far back as early childhood. I recently had a
flashback that took me not that far back but only 45 years or so ago. It
happened as I was reading an article written by Robert Kagan and Michelle
Dunne. It is titled: “U.S.
needs to show Egypt
some tough love” and published in the Washington Post on February 21, 2013.
What happened as I was reading the article is that a
reflexive shout of horror that used to engulf me as a young man hit me again at
this age. No, I did not fear for myself or for anyone; it's just that I felt
the horror which used to engulf me each time I created a work that people liked
because, as they said, was “brimming with life.”
As it happened, however, a handful of other people who were
associated with the Canadian Jewish Congress and one horrible newspaper, hated
my success so much, they responded in a way that indicated they were shouting
to each other: “It's alive, kill it.” And they did manage to kill most of my
efforts for more than four decades, but I survived them. I even erased the
shout that used to echo in my head every time that they made their cowardly
move.
The memory of that shout was revived again, but rather than
be alarmed, I am glad it did because I want to remember the past, want to write
about it and want to relate it to what I see happening now. Thanks to the Kagan
and Dunne article, I see the similarities between what they are advocating now,
what used to happen 45 years ago, and what the terrorists do when a country in
difficulty comes close to regaining its stability.
What those horrible characters do is use one and the same
approach; it is that they create mayhem to keep the chaos going. They do what
they do under the guise of helping the people whose lives they seek to destroy.
Sadly, Kagan and Dunne have joined the terrorists who labor to kill a beautiful
product now coming to life in a Middle East
that is going through labor pain.
So then, what do Kagan and Dunne say must be done to help
the people of Egypt ?
You get a sense of that from the way they have structured the article. They
take a couple of paragraphs to say how bad things are in Egypt beginning
with this: “Although Morsi won a narrow victory...” Take a good look at that
word “Although.” It is how terrorists negate the democratic process. Normal
people say: “elections have consequences” but terrorists like Kagan and Dunne –
who used to be with the Carnegie Endowment for Peace but is no longer there for
a mysterious reason – use the word although.
Having done this, they go on to cite what is happening in
the country. And what they cite is what normally happens when politicians
jockey for position. The two authors write the longest paragraph to emphasize
this point: “Under Morsi's rule, Egyptian society has become polarized.” But
society is polarized in America
too. Did Morsi have anything to do with that? If not, I have a better
explanation as to why societies become polarized at times. Take note of this,
Robert and Michelle because you will not see it anywhere else. Here it is:
People become polarized because some of them wear brown shoes on a Wednesday.
Get it now? Stop this habit and people will never again become polarized. That's
never again. Get it? It's never again, assholes.
Horror of horror, look what else they see happening in
Egypt: “The … secular opposition parties have formed a 'National Salvation
Front' … those who want to force Morsi to compromise and those who want to force
him from power … the government and the opposition are locked in a game of
chicken.” So then, how do Robert Kagan and Michelle Dunne propose to solve that
logjam? Speaking for an American role, they say this: “It's time for a new
approach.”
You ask: What is that? And they respond: “The United States
needs to use all its options [including] U.S influence with the IMF and other
international lenders – to persuade Morsi...” In other words, they want to do
to Egypt what was done in
the Nineteen Fifties which is to sever the relation between Egypt and the
West, forcing that country to cozy up to the Eastern Block.
And when that happened, World Jewry started to work on
monopolizing America 's
culture, wealth and military power – thus mobilizing all of its resources to
serve the glory of Israel .
And what the two authors want Egypt to do now to escape America's proposed
destructive role is for “the Egyptian army ... to bring security to the Sinai,”
a euphemism to mean that Egypt should stand like a sentinel to protect Israel's
flank when it goes on a rampage and bombs the unarmed people of Palestine.
The two authors also talk about democracy which probably
means to have an American style congress of pimps and prostitutes, madams and
gigolos rule Egypt .
Dream on, kids, dream on.
Finally, they are trying to repeat a success they had during
the years of the W. What happened then was the sudden and dramatic increase in
the power of the neocons in America .
The Jewish organizations achieved this success when they persuaded the W to cut
off his relations with the Palestinians by not inviting Arafat to America .
So now, our two esteemed authors – buoyed by the thought
that President Obama has finally accepted to visit Israel – write this: “As for
Morsi's planned trip to Washington, it would be better to hold that invitation
until he demonstrates a sincere commitment to … resolving the status of
foreign-funded NGOs.”
These people never give up. They will keep sabotaging America
