Shalom brother Chaim,
What do you think of Zbigniew Brzezinski, the former head of the National Security Council under Jimmy Carter and now chief foreign policy advisor to Obama? A growing number of conservative commentators and political analysts regard Brzezinski as the "eminence grise" behind the rise of Obama out of relative obscurity back in 2002.
It is said that Brzezinski's relationship to Obama dates back to the early 1980's when Obama was a student at Columbia University and Brzezinski was a Professor there. Brzezinski is avowedly anti-Russian, he is anti-Israel [he praised the paper by Professors Mearsheimer & Walt arguing that Israel controls Amercan foreign policy] he was one of the main agitators in Washington for the importation of tens of thousands of Muslim Nazi terrorists into Bosnia - in covert co-operation with Iran - to fight the Serbs from 1992 to 1995, the arming and training of the Albanian Muslim Nazi terrorist so-called "Kosovo Liberation Army" from 1996 onwards, the 3 month bombing of Serbia by the Clintons in 1999, and the tearing away of Kosovo from Serbia resulting in a greater Albania.We saw the results of this Clinton policy with the terrorist attacks of 9/11, Madrid, London and Bali.
One of Brzezinski's proteges, Zalmay Khalilzad, was the chief strategist behind the neo-cons disastrous policy during the two Bush administrations of containing Iraq and leaving Iran alone.
Because Brzezinski often brags in interviews to the press about being the chief architect of US foreign policy of arming and training the so-called "Mujahedeen" led by Osama bin Laden against the Soviets in Afghanistan from the late 1970's onwards which led to the collapse of the Soviet empire, he was asked by a French reporter in an interview in 1998 whether Islam represents a global threat today because of this policy.
Here's how Brezezinski replied:
"Rubbish!!It's said that the West has a global policy regarding Islam. That's hogwash: there is no global Islam. Let's look at Islam in a rational and not a demagogic or emotional way. It is the first world religion with 1.5 billion adherents. But what is there in common between fundamentalist Saudi Arabia, moderate Morocco, militaristic Pakistan, pro-Western Egypt and secularized Central Asia? Nothing more than that which connects the Christian countries..."
Despite Brzezinki's denial of reality do you think his strategy of using Islam as a weapon against perceived enemies of the United States like Serbia and Iraq was the right thing to do considering the grave threat which Islam poses today - especially from a nuclear-armed Iran - which the neo-cons under Bush left alone for 8 years? Why do you think both Clinton and Bush left Iran alone but instead went after Serbia and Iraq?
