27. Oh yeah, that's a good one. In fact, a big Israel aid supporter also

supported aid to Saddam. Arming both sides!!
In 1987 Daniel Pipes, darling of the ADL and President Bush, wrote an article for The New Republic advocating aid to Saddam.
I have a pdf copy of the article here: http://tomjoad.org/pipes.htm
For those who may be skeptical, look it up yourself.

The point is that the arming of Israel is not about peace, but about US power projected in the Middle East. It is not about democracy, but as anyone who has read Chomsky understands, US foreign policy is about preventing democracy, by any means necessary.
