There's another question: Over the past eight years, the United States has invested huge resources in attempting to bring democracy to the Middle East. But it's not clear whether that project will succeed as long as America's natural allies in the region remain themselves so profoundly irrational and illiberal.What can be done? Here's a modest suggestion. The Egyptian state and the country's newspapers go out of their way to make a leper of any author who expresses even remote sympathy with Israel. Perhaps Western institutions could adopt a similar practice, refusing to invite to their various functions any editors who allow their pages to become Jew-hatred platforms. The cold shoulder alone might get these lunch-eaters to change their tune.
Actually it's pretty clear it won't succeed. Other than Iraq, a military commitment, theres no indication of any movement toward democracy in the region, including in our pet, the palestinian authority.
I have an idea, let them run their own countries, if that means a King or President for life, so be it. And insist they cease incitement if they want favorable relations. Which includes the aid we send to countries like Egypt, Jordan, the palestinians and Pakistan, which finances the incitement, an in the case of countries like Saudi Arabia, the availability of modern American arms. If they want to attack Israel, let them do it with Russian platforms. And when they come to visit, no hand holding and no having Jews enter conferences by the service entrance. Not in America.
I heartily applaud this idea.
I prefer the old days when we could be honest about who our enemies were, instead of this macabre dance where we have Saudi Princes holding hands with our president at the Crawford Ranch.
