Pot calling kettle black
Editor, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice prodded Middle Eastern leaders Monday to reform their governments. In her remarks, Rice strongly rebuked two countries, Syria and Iran, as she called Syria a “police state” that has acted as a foreign master in neighboring Lebanon. On Iran, she said, “The appearance of elections does not mask the organized cruelty of Iran’s theocratic state.” Iran’s not a threat to the United States, just as Iraq wasn’t a threat. The threat is to Israel, which has always worried about any of its inimical neighbors getting a hold of nuclear weapons. Israel, of course, has many nuclear weapons, but doesn’t want its monopoly in that area challenged by atomic ayatollahs. Israel is egging on the United States to do something about it, and is hinting that if the U.S. doesn’t stop the Iranian nuclear program, then Israel will stop it the same way it stopped Iraq’s nuclear program years ago, by blowing up their reactor. The United States has merely used so-called goodness and righteousness as a cloak for invasion and conquest, and beneath the cloak resides much hypocrisy, for America too has much blood on its hands. Beneath this cloak you see the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the millions who were killed in Vietnam and throughout Southeast Asia, the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who died in the first Gulf War. However, these countries have pointed out that the United States is guilty of the same, or worse.

In her remarks, Rice strongly rebuked two countries -- Syria and Iran as she called Syria a "police state" that has acted as a foreign master in neighboring Lebanon.
