Israel and US Threats Against Iran
By JOSHUA FRANK
The Bush Administration and their Democratic allies believe that the war in Iraq and now Iran is in Israel's interest.
"If you're a supporter of Israel, I would strongly urge you to help other countries become democracies," President Bush was quoted as saying in the Forward on December 16, 2005. "Israel's long-term survival depends upon the spread of democracy in the Middle East."
Democracy by gunpoint that is. As the search for Weapons of Mass Destruction has waned, Bush and his warmongering allies have continued to declare the occupation of Iraq is now about democracy. It was on the backburner of justifications before the war, but now the neocon's false hopes are front and center. Of course, this so-called "democracy" has clear limitations. For starters, what the Bush administration and their Israeli allies have in mind for the Middle East has absolutely nothing do to with any sort of democratic principles...http://tinyurl.com/d5kcp
