COMMENT POSTED TO A COLUMN BY BEN HARRIS IN THE INDEPENDENT
"George W Bush is
one of my biggest political heroes..."
All I can say, Ben Harris, is that anyone who can make that
statement does not have a single word worth reading or hearing.
It's a bit like declaring yourself mentally unfit before
getting up to speak
George Bush was likely the most feeble-minded and
ethically-empty man ever to be president.
And he launched a totally unnecessary war in Iraq that
killed perhaps a million people in total, destroying one of the Mideast's most
prosperous countries.
And his invasion of Afghanistan too was not necessary
because the Taleban government had nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with
9/11.
Yet the US invaded, killed a lot of people, and achieved virtually
nothing, leaving the place in a shambles.
What I suspect is actually Mr. Harris's undeclared agenda
here is Trump's opposition to the Neocon Wars, a hateful 15-year crusade of
murder and destruction.
In the US, the group that is most vociferous and even
vicious against Trump is the Neocons and the Israel Lobby.
The reason is simple: Israel likes having everyone with any
independence of mind around it flattened, and that is what these American wars
have done. Also, Israel feels good that a muscular, hyper-aggressive U.S.
remains that way in world affairs. It comforts them in their horrible occupied
territory in which about 6 million suffer daily.
Most of the world's people would like to see some peace and
constructive engagement in America's world affairs, and that is Trump's
greatest promise.
