Hi...Bill Clinton nearly sold Israel down the river. Hillary Clinton can't be trusted on anything. Trump will actually be more fair to Israel than any Democrat. Most Beeboids will hate that about him, too.<br /><br />Yasmin Alibhai Brown is wringing her hands over Libyan 'refugees', is she? Why is that country in chaos, again?<br /><br /><i>e is right that we cannot ignore the pleas of the rebels and most Libyans (not all) who know Gaddafi will obliterate them and their hopes for democracy. The crisis has woken the Arab League from its long nap and for once it makes no excuses for a despot – though on Sunday, members were again copping out. The UN, too, may just be saved from the paralysis that comes from having to please every nation, even the most foul and unfair.<br /><br />And yet we couldn't do it, couldn't wholly back the Libyan mission, not even on a wing and a prayer. Why? It is to do with trust. As Abdel al-Bari Atwan, the editor-in-chief of Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper and a friend, wrote last week: "The first reaction was relief ... who would not want to stop a bully intent on 'wiping out' those who oppose him? But any relief should be tempered with serious misgivings. First what motives lie behind this intervention?"<br /><br />.....<br /><br />At the end of the long coffee-drinking evening, most of us seemed to feel that helping rebels in Libya was necessary. But the real passions were raised over what the West does next. Their movers and shakers cannot go on cultivating hideous leaders and then turning on them when the winds change. They embrace Saudi Arabia and in the same moment shoot down Libya. Such hypocrisies will no longer be swallowed by people who are now globally connected.</i><br /><br />You didn't want the evil white man deciding what happened next, no boots on the ground, so here we are, you hypocrite.<br /><br />YAB and Bari are friends, so this whole 'row' was manufactured for your entertainment, and to encourage you in the direction of approved thoughts.<br /><br />Michael Goldfarb?

A mystery! - at least Bari knows his people, as it were, and it's easy (if you want to) to see through his childish strategems, concealments and false-friend gambits. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
