I read where the author of a recent opednews article that blames the US arrogance for causing the Anti-American distain in the Arab world today, which is very true.
What the author fails to explain is how Ronald Reagan, referred to Saddam Hussein and Osma Bin laden as "Freedom Fighter's", the GOP "Greed & Oppression Party" have re-labeled "Terrorist's". While openly supporting Al-CIAda, the USA has claimed is an organization wanting to destroy the "American Dream" concept.
Is was the Reagan regime that provided Saddam Hussein the WMD's to gass the Kurds and others in the 80's. Where was the cry of a tyrant Saddam then?
The Reagan misguided foreign policy was to supply weapons to both sides of the Iran Iraq war, as long as Arabs were killing Arabs, who cared? It was slowly culling one of the fastest growing segments of society in the world today.
The Reagan administration was talking with Iran during the election, assuring their frozen assets in the USA would be resinded after he was elected. With one of the first directives of Reagan was to to unfreeze them.
Fomenting Treason with the Iran-Contra weapons for cocaine scandle, that negotiated with "Terrorist's" Iran, contrary to what Reagan said publicly, while violating Congrassional law barring the support of the "Terrorist's" Contras of Nicaragua. Causing the durg epedemic scourge of the inners-city's of the USA.
Reagan welcomed the Shah into the USA with open arms, just like he did with Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines who was another tyrant that robbed his country blind of US humanitarian aid. Addiding trillions to the US Federal deficit that the author claims doesn't matter. That your great-grandchildren will still only be paying a fraction of the debt upon the total interest accrued.
But what else should I expect from a "Family Values" swapping wife and political party, snitch, B rated, senile sap, that bloated the size of government while adding trillions to the US national debt.
