Always, we have betrayed them. We backed "Flossy" in Yemen. The French
backed their local "harkis" in Algeria; then the FLN victory forced
them to swallow their own French military medals before dispatching
them into mass graves. In Vietnam, the Americans demanded democracy
and, one by one - after praising the Vietnamese for voting under fire
in so many cities, towns and villages - they destroyed the elected
prime ministers because they were not abiding by American orders.

Now we are at work in Iraq. Those pesky Iraqis don't deserve our
sacrifice, it seems, because their elected leaders are not doing what
we want them to do.

Does that remind you of a Palestinian organisation called Hamas?
First, the Americans loved Ahmed Chalabi, the man who fabricated for
Washington the"'weapons of mass destruction"...Read more on the
