Gerechet-polo: has a wild scheme to transform the Middle East

"A democratic Tehran would also likely reduce its aid to Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Baathist dictatorship in Syria. Palestinian fundamentalists who now receive substantial Iranian financing would also likely be a subject of heavy debate in a free Parliament, as would aid to other radical Sunni groups throughout the Middle East and Tehran’s disconcerting contacts with Al Qaeda (which were detailed by the 9/11 commission report). Iran could easily become what Ayatollah Khomeini had wished — the model that transforms the Middle East — albeit not in the manner he hoped for." I mean, the only thing that is missing from this wild scheme is the expectation that the Iranian people would greet US liberators with--you guessed it right--"sweets and flowers". I mean, the whole region would change. This faithful student of Bernard Lewis wants the US to "help" the so-called democratic (read, anti-regime: you see any movement in the world that opposes an anti-US regime or dictatorship or democracy, like in Turkey or the quasi democracy in Venezuela, becomes automatically democratic) movement, but he does not tell us how. Also, don't you like it when Zionists don't know what to do with Turkey. The Zionists have a hard time dealing with Turkey: because, the Zionist propagandists have an easy formula for dealing with Middle East revulsion at Israel. They declare any country that voices criticism of Israel as "a dictatorship", while they declare any lousy dictatorship that supports Israel (Muharak regime or the regime of the unrepentant Nazi, anti-Semite Sadat, or that of Saudi Arabia) a "reforming, moderate government". But here is Turkey, the most democratic of all Middle East regimes, is voicing criticisms of Israel. That really angers Zionists and throws them off balance. This expert, Mr. Gerechet-polo says: "Turkey’s ruling Islamist Justice and Development Party, whose commitment to democratic values has been increasingly shaky..." Can Mr. Gerechet, or Mr. Gerechet-polo or Mr. Polo, deny that Turkey today is the most democratic in its contemporary history, flaws and all? Or is the standard based not on democratic standards but on attitude toward Israel? I am certain that Israel would far more prefer to be dealing with the dictatorship of Turkish generals, and Zionists never voiced concerns over human rights when Kurds were being butchered right and left. But what I like about Mr. Gerechet-polo is his ability to predict into the future: "The economic “reforms” that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has planned will probably worsen Iran’s..." There you have it. And just in case anybody missed the training at the feet of Bernard Lewis, see this: "But the evolution of Christianity, which never had Islam’s deep fusion of church and state..." I mean, is there a more tried out, and rolled cliche than this?
