Let's face facts: American troops are dying to protect more corruption and anti-liberal polcies by an Arab
government.
Bush should have sent the troops into Iran, not Iraq. Sadaam Hussein was already defanged (by Daddy Bush and by
Israel), and the backer of international terrorism has always been Iran not Iraq.
Here is a sad story of what American soldiers have died for: a country that is prepared to sentence to death any
parliamentarians who so much as "visit" Israel or advocate peace.
So, you see, I think the ideology of Tolerism is so rampant that all Americans (including Republicans) should take a good
hard look at what values in the world the Americans want to support and enhance. They actually might start to
understand that instead of Tolerism to corrupt Iraqi politicians, who are welcomed as allies in some ill-defined war, they
should be partnering with Israel as the only real Model for liberal democracy in the whole Middle East. The rest of
those suicide-bombing and terrorist supporting folks who abuse their women and children, should just be isolated, and disarmed
when they try to acquire nuclear weapons, and left in their backwardness and suicidal policies. Let them continue to
blame America and Israel for everything, but disengage from them and just stop this World War that they think they are
winning.
Iraqi MP may be sentenced to death for visiting Israel
Sep. 22, 2008
Associated Press , THE JERUSALEM POST
First his two sons were murdered. Now he faces prosecution. The reason for Mithal al-Alusi's troubles? Visiting Israel and
advocating peace with the Jewish state - something Iraq's leaders refuse to consider.
The Iraqi is at the center of a political storm after his fellow lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to strip him of his immunity
and allow his prosecution for visiting Israel - a crime punishable by death under a 1950s-era law. Such a fate is unlikely for
al-Alusi, though he may lose his party's sole seat in parliament.
Because he had visited Israel, many Iraqis assume the maverick legislator was the real target of the assassins who killed
his sons in 2005 while he escaped unharmed.
Now he is in trouble for again visiting Israel and attending a conference a week ago at the International Institute for
Counterterrorism.
"He wasn't set to speak, but he was in the audience and conversed with a lecturer on a panel about insurgency and terrorism
in Afghanistan, Iraq and Israel," said conference organizer Eitan Azani. "We didn't invite him. He came on his own
initiative."
Al-Alusi has a German passport, allowing him to travel without visa restrictions imposed on other Iraqis. Lawmakers accused
him of humiliating the nation with a trip to the "enemy" state.
The uproar shows how far Iraq has moved from the early US goal of creating a democracy that would make peace with Israel and
remove a critical force from the Arab-Israeli conflict.
The US Embassy declined comment. "It is an issue for the Iraqi parliament, not the US Mission to Iraq," said spokesman
Armand Cucciniello.
"What has happened was a catastrophe for democracy," Al-Alusi told The Associated Press in an interview in his Baghdad home.
"Within an hour's time, the parliament became the policeman, the investigator, the judge, the government and the law. It was a
sham trial."
Al-Alusi said he went to Israel to seek international support for Iraq as it struggles against terrorism, and insisted that
the outcry reflected Iranian meddling in Iraq's internal affairs - an accusation often leveled by Sunnis like himself against
Iraq's mostly Shi'ite neighbor.
"Iran is behind Hamas and Hizbullah and many other terrorist organizations. Israelis are suffering like me, like my people.
So we need to be together," he said. "Peace will have more of a chance."
Iraq sent troops to three Arab wars against Israel, and fired Scud missiles at it in the 1991 Gulf War. It remains
technically at war with the Jewish state. Iraq's once-thriving Jewish community has shriveled to just a few people, most having
fled after Israel was established in 1948.
But I can't fully leave behind my neocon sensibilities to agree with the headline. However long it takes, i don't see how
our horizon can be other than one of demanding responsible Arab participation in the now single global economy. And making them
responsible and transparent, no longer wholly dependent on and resentful of the West , will require processes of liberalization
and even democratization.
If that proves truly impossible, we have to admit that seriously isolating the Arabs, to the point where they couldn't be a
threat, at a time when WMD become ever more in the capacity of backwards and isolated regimes like North Korea, will really
require an absolute blockade, presumably to the point of starving many millions since they are already highly dependent on
foreign aid, medicine, food, etc. And will people in the West ever come to political agreement on the need to let that happen?
I doubt it.
But I am firmly on side with your critique of tolerism. It seems to me that sooner or later we are going to have become
ethically much more focussed on defending and insisting on the adoption of truly modern values. We cannot have this mindless
tolerism, this cultural relativism and romanticization of the primitive tribal other. We have to not only advocate
modernization towards democracy - indeed on the model of Israel, the only successful nation in the ME - but be willing to
seriously punish those who go against its values. We should have more not less reason to treat Iraqi politicians as our enemies
now that they are both moving towards democracy and still playing the totalitarian game of focussing internal resentments on
the external Other, Israel. They need to fear a return to the horrors of war.
Maybe we invaded the wrong country. But in any case it seems we fail because there is not the willingness in the West to
learn the hard lessons and find the will, which we need for generations, to carry through with the truly hard task of demanding
(and punishing) those who take trillions in oil money, those who have no native idea how to extract, refine, or even use the
oil, live up to the responsibilities entailed by their dependence on the modern world which has allowed their populations to
multiply far beyond what their own grasp of science and technology would otherwise allow.
But at the merest suggestion that we get tough and demanding with non-Western peoples, our own Western culture, with all its
postcolonial guilt, goes into civil war. If we can gain ground in this civil war, the world and its possibilities will look
different. But of course we have a long way to go given the present nature of our elites.
