David Irving comments: HERE's a little item that our Arabic expert has translated from today's edition of the independent Beirut paper as-Safir. It is a poll among Palestinians that shows that 80 percent of Palestinians would support Iraq if it is attacked, and indeed that they would "feel that it is their duty" to do so. This raises questions: First, Bush wants to impose "democracy" on the Arab world, but 80 percent of Palestinians -- to say nothing of Iraqis -- are against him. What kind of "democracy" will that be? For that matter, what kind of "democracy" can be imposed by a foreign invasion? The Afghan, Karzai, style? Not encouraging. Second, what does this imply for the security of Americans in coming years? The US leadership claims to be concerned with "terrorism," yet it pursues policies calculated to arouse intense opposition among the very peoples that Washington identifies as a source of "terrorism." Third, why is Washington pursuing Middle East policies that stir up such vast enmity? For whose sake is Bush following a course that will only make all Americans, everywhere, the object of deep hatred and rage, and quite possibly the targets for physical violence in coming years?
