Isn't it nice how Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz managed to escape criticism?

Question

The pack rats planned it all for the sake of securing Israel.

Answer 1

History - if we have one, for the Bush Administration and death-wielding acolytes have uniformly behaved as if there is NO tomorrow (witness Dick Armey's declaration that we are about to be razed by the rapture) - will judge Bush very harshly. The main reason to lie their way to war was to sustain their power and line their pockets. Bush wasn't interested in the truth, he said "we don't want an enquiry into 9/11 all our generals are in the field" and "to vote against me is to be one of the enermy" ("you are for us or against us"). As Bush's buddies readied for war in secrecy, with mendacity, malevolence and disregard for the very principles democracy which they claimed they would bring to Iraq - a biography of Cicero appeared on Washington best-seller lists. Lest we forget his maxim 'cui bono' - Bush and his pals are the only ones to benefit as $ billions (that could have promoted peace) were wasted on war and countless precious lives lost. Mr Bush should review his landing on the USS Abraham Lincoln (2003) which said 'Mission Accomplished'. Lincoln said there is only one sentence which is forever true "even this too shall pass away" - something to savour for the moths to the flame of power who masquerade as global leaders and democrats. How can such a great nation equipped with such values and 'leadership theory' produce such a mal-adminstration?

Answer 2

Try http://www.newamericancentury.org/ This is the old home of Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Perle etc. This is where they drew up their post Soviet war plans for Hegemony over the Persian Gulf including toppling Saddam. It was a neat trick as now Wolfowitz is head of the World Bank, and Perle is still a regular on Fox News.

Answer 3

Jimmy Carter is one of most highly respected former presidents we have. He spent considerable prestige saying something no one else has been willing to say. Disagreeing with Israel is NOT anti-semitism.

Israel is not a modern Democracy in the sense of the one we cherish. Israel has something more akin to a caste system. The more "Jewish" you are in a genetic sense, the more rights you have. At the bottom of the citizen ladder is the Israeli Arabs. They are truly "second class" citizens in the classic sense. While they have many rights, they have much less than Jewish citizens. Even further down the list is residents of the "territories". They have no rights as citizens. They have a few rights as a occupied countries citizen would, they have more rights in Palestine and almost none in any part of Israel. They are truly "third class" citizens. For example, all abandoned land in Palestine is subject to be claimed for Jewish settlements. There are laws whose specific purpose was to drive Arabs off their land and make it "abandoned".

While this is not exactly like apartheid, it is very similar. And it is a system of privileges based on heritage, not hard work. Jimmy Carter just points this and many other problems out.

You'll have to use something a little more credible than Wikipedia.

Not that I'm a fan of either, I just don't think your source is credible.
