How much sense does this make to you?

Question

Bush has gone on the record numerous times about wanting to spread "democracy" and "freedom" to the Middle East, and so he backs both the Fatah and Lebanese government in the process--and the peace talks with Israel.

Only...

Last year, Israel invaded Lebanon to try and take out the embedded Hezbolah contingent--with the US's blessing--and kills over 800 Lebanonese civilians and only a small number of Hezbolah fighters.

(All for democracy, right?)

Israel ends up with egg on its face in light of the embarassing defeat by Hezbolah, while Bush does nothing but pull financial support from the people of Lebanon because of what happened.

So Hezbolah steps in to give what the US refuses to dole out: Money and support in the ongoing reconstruction efforts--even though our government has labeled Hezbolah as 'terrorists'.

continued below...

The peace in the Middle East, democracy, freedom, and whatnot, is being threatened by the conflict in Lebanon, so everyone's attention is focused on what's happening with the Palestinians.

Again, Bush wants peace, democracy, and freedom to reign, and he's said that he would endorse whatever government is exercising these requirements.

(All for democracy, right?)

So the people of Palestine DEMOCRATICALLY elect Hamas in January of 2006--stunning the world, the Fatah government, and the US.

So what does Bush do? WITHHOLD AID FROM THE PEOPLE OF PALESTINE BECAUSE OF THEIR CHOICE IN BOTH LEADERSHIP AND GOVERNMENT.

So where is the democracy, freedom, and CHOICE in this? If Bush wants to spread freedom, democracy, and peace across the Middle East, why can't he ACCEPT the choices that people in these various countries make and go on with it?

Isn't this what Bush wanted in the first place?

And top of that, Bush supporters are now calling for Fatah and Israel to UNITE and kill off an entire Hamas movement in one fell swoop.

Why? Because they don't APPROVE of the choice the Palestinian people made in 2006?

Why is it that we have to make their decisions for them? Why does our vision of democracy have to be ENFORCED on other countries whether they want it or not?

I didn't omit that part, because that's not the whole reason why I am asking the question.

Answer 1

No, it doesn't make sense to me. Yes, the U.S. wants other countries to be democratic, but...

in a restricted sense. They have to do exactly what we want them to do, which means puppets of the U.S. (U.K, Israel).

When a country fails to do what is right, according to the interests of the U.S. and not to the interests of the citizens, then they have to be punished.

Taking away international aid, economic sanctions, supporting groups aiming to topple the democratically elected President or Prime Minister and other means to make the people realize that they have no choice.

The U.S. will control them and if they the people fight back then they are terrorists, anti-democratic and our enemies.

Answer 2

Be Good, regularly. ...Common-experience... It's a infrequent commodity... *The five bodily senses: Seeing, listening to, tasting, smelling, and touching. Believe it or no longer, all 5 of the bodily senses will permit a individual to suppose. All five of the bodily senses might engage inside the framework of human realization. *The seven states of human realization: a million. Unarvu - feeling two. Unarchi - concentration three. Puthi - Intellect four. Madhi - Judgment five. Arivu - Subtle Wisdom 6. Pahuth Arivu - Divine Wisdom 7. Perr Arivu - Divine Luminous Wisdom All people might potentially have entry to the, 5 bodily senses. All people do have entry to the, "Seven States of Consciousness". A individual ought to try diligently to entry all "Seven States of Consciousness", for that is the actual delivery-proper bestowed upon every individual. Hopefully that makes a few 'experience'... Peace be regularly with you. Meechum Anbu (Much Love) in sha'Allah al-hamdu lillah Salaams,

Answer 3

Placing Anti Aircraft weapons On top of Hospitals is one sure way to get an Innocent Killed but it is well within the Islamic Fundy Mind. Sorry Israel Is Not Innocent in this either but the Hez monkeys Would put there mothers in the field of fire just for the Heck of it Sorry you are for the most part wrong. In WW2 the German choice to hold up in Berline was a surre way to have thousands of inncents killed, they made that choice you cannot Blame the Allies for that one.

Answer 4

Your question makes no sense. Somewhere in your misguided life you missed the part of history about Hezbollah being a terrorists organization whose only purpose is to kill every man, woman and child that does not bow down to them like you do.

Answer 5

It makes more sense than your question does.

Hizbolah IS a TERRORIST organization not a "terrorist" group. and I can keep going on and on about the middle east.. considering I am an arab... but I am not going to do that untill you have learned the facts and the history from both sides.. History is bias.. you need to read both.

Answer 6

None - zero. We should only be trying to promote peace between the two, which means we must remain neutral. Taking the aid away after promising it makes the situation worse.

Bush and his brain dead followers hatred of anything even looking muslim, and the unconditional support of Israel right or wrong is only making matters worse.

I can't wait to get a rational president back in office and begin some policies that help the ME situation instead of inflaming them.

Answer 7

Wow. Long question. What was the question? Anyway, nothing Bush says or does ever makes sense to me, so... whatever.

Answer 8

You choose to omit the part where Hezbollah launched a month long missile attack on Israel after kidnapping her soldiers

Answer 9

Thanks for asking because I say you make no sense . It would be impossible to give you a complete education on the intracies of foreign policy . I'll give you a hint though. . . . it doesn't work the way you think it does .
