"The combination of unwavering U.S. support for Israel and the related effort to spread democracy throughout the region has inflamed Arab and Islamic opinion and jeopardized U.S. security. ... Why has the United States been willing to set aside its own security in order to advance the interests of another state?... The explanation lies in the unmatched power of the Israel Lobby. Were it not for the Lobby's ability to manipulate the American political system, the relationship between Israel and the United States would be far less intimate than it is today....No, these aren't the ravings of insane Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. This comes from two professors at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.
The paper, by Stephen M. Walt and John Mearsheimer, is posted on the internet (available here, via Vital Perspective), and has attracted the enthusiastic support of former KKK leader David Duke, who is pleased to have such an esteemed institution as Harvard endorse his racist viewpoints:
"It is quite satisfying to see a body in the premier American University essentially come out and validate every major point I have been making since even before the war even started."Via Neocon Express.

The paragraph you quote is enlightening.
US support for a REAL DEMOCRACY and supporting the spread of democracy in a region that has known only secular dictators and religious tyrants IS A BAD THING????????
Damn! Its getting to the point that every opposing element is oozing moral bankruptcy and attempting to pass it off "enlightened self-interest!"
I know some of our jawa are Jewish - so please don't be offended by what follows ...
Israeli Lobby? Jesus Christ! Virtually every Jewish politican and Jews of influence in this country are freakin' liberal democrats and leftists!!!! The Jewish community votes Democratic 80% or higher! Jews are THE BIGGEST influence on the american LEFT!
Who the hell is the "Israeli Lobby"? Don't these people have names - especially since they are supposedly so pervasive!
Identify them - explain how this "influence" is carried out - how it works! What - is it a secret? They wear masks or something?
I've always considered the "Israeli Lobby" as one of the biggest crocks going - simply more acceptable to most than the Illuminati and those dreaded Masons.

And it doesn't matter, oyoy, whether our policy made us any friends or not, these people would still not be our friends. I repeat my question. Has the European approach, which is what you are advocating, done them any good? Do the Islamists still see Europe as the enemy, and do they intend to attack Europe in the future? I think the answer to these questions are quite obvious.
