The new Bush doctrine

What do you get from America and Israel if you are a rogue state supporting terror against America and Israel; you are in league with Iran in prosecuting a war against the west and the elimination of Israel; you have been helping fuel the terror war against democracy in Iraq; you have been developing in secret a prohibited nuclear weapon with the help of another rogue state from the axis of evil, north Korea; and you have been instrumental in sabotaging democracy in Lebanon where you murdered the Prime Minister? Why, you are invited by America to a ‘peace’ conference, your presence is welcomed by Israel as a diplomatic ‘success’, and you are promised that the return of your territory that remains confiscated because you have never resiled from the intention of using it as you did before to try to eliminate Israel will nevertheless be an item to be discussed.

What do we all learn from this? That murderous extremism will be rewarded by America while moderate states and democracies are betrayed; that terrorism is a passport to the counsels of the so-called civilised world and thus has every incentive to redouble its infernal efforts; and that Israel is now a nation led by lemmings, with the rest of us only a little way behind heading for the edge of the same wretched cliff.
