Democracy vs. Destabilization

The Israel Lobby neocons pretend to be about spreading democracy whereas they actually are about destabilization. In his book Where the Right Went Wrong, Patrick J. Buchanan answers the question: "Who are they, the neoconservatives?" He quotes a Wall Street Journal article by Max Boot in which Boot states that support for Israel is a "key tenet of neoconservatism" and that Commentary, the American Jewish Congress magazine, is the "neocon bible." Buchanan points out that Israel Lobby neocon Michael Ledeen wrote in his book The War Against the Terror Masters: "First and foremost, we must bring down the terror regimes, beginning with the big three: Iran, Iraq, and Syria." "Stability is an unworthy American mission, and a misleading concept to boot. We do not want stability in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and even Saudi Arabia; we want things to change. The real issue is not whether, but how to destabilize." Of course, destabilizing the enemies of Israeli expansionism has been a longtime Israeli strategy. Thus, led by the neocon warmongers, we destabilized Iraq and Afghanistan. Currently, Obama is particularly hated by these neocons as he has taken a strong stand against the expanding Israeli settlements and in favor of diplomacy rather than war with Iran.

It has been noted that democracy can only succeed when the losing party recognizes the legitimacy of the winning side. The neocons refuse to accept Obama's 2008 victory and in typical neocon fashion are now trying to destabilize our country. These far-righters refuse to work with the president to solve our nation's problems but instead practice disruption and destruction. Their rabid media leaders, who so successfully lied us into war, now mobilize shriekers to sabotage town hall meetings designed to debate national problems such as health care. They even deny the legitimacy of our election by refusing to allow school children to hear a motivational speech by President Obama. They urge parents to keep children home from school so that they will not be exposed to a speech whose main theme is the importance of staying in school. Thus they strive to guarantee that their children are as ignorant, uneducated, and narrow-minded as they are. However, their underlying goal is destabilization, a defeat of democracy.
