Reader comment on item: Giuliani's Fresh Start

Submitted by yuval Brandstetter MD (Israel), Oct 18, 2007 at 02:07

The present vituperative use of the word "neocon" is a "Jewish-affiliated inteventionist who places Israeli interests ahead of American interests". In its most vituperative a neocon is "a servant of the council of the elders of Zion"

I would consider three more improvements upon the US foreign policy.

One: getting out of the peace-making business, or brokerage, between Jews and Arabs. After one hundred years of uremitting conflict it is no more solvable than the Sunni-Shiite divide, perhaps less so.

Two: Get out of Arab Iraq and re-estblish bases in Kurdistan, inclusive of Kirkuk and Nineveh.

Three: Cease the talk regarding the iran Nuclear threat and make plans for a military defanging of the terror state of Iran.
