Eisenhower sought to isolate Israel from the canal controversy on the fear that mixture of the volatile Israeli-Egyptian and Anglo-French-Egyptian conflicts would ignite the Middle East. Accordingly, Dulles denied Israel a voice in the diplomatic conferences summoned to resolve the crisis and prevented discussion of Israel's grievances about Egyptian policy during the proceedings at the United Nations. Sensing a spike in Israeli bellicosity toward Egypt in August and September, Eisenhower arranged limited arms supplies from the United States, France, and Canada in the hope of easing Israeli insecurity and thereby averting an Egyptian-Israeli war.
Contrast this approach with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s
video and note the subtext that explains the actual meaning of her remarks. If this is a spoof, protect us from the reality.
Kevin Carson submits this perspective on the net results of the internationalist foreign policy.
The clear assumption is that there is some commonality of interest between the American people and the state that claims to represent them. But in reality, we’ve got about as many interests in common with "our" government as the Egyptian people have in common with Hosni Mubarak.
The U.S. government may pursue "interests" in the Middle East and elsewhere in the world, but they’re the interests of the coalition of class forces that controls the American state. The interests promoted by the U.S. government are those at the commanding heights of the corporate economy.
Over a century of benign neglect towards an informative and educated concern about our original purpose for a sound foreign policy, has created a population void of influence and understanding. The best objective lesson regarding the internationalist agenda for global empire is that our lives back home are destined to mirror the unemployed youth on the streets of Cairo.
A proper function of a military is to defend our own borders. America was a great country because our own revolution sought to promote individual liberty. Involvement with foreign entanglements diminishes responsible domestic security. The global model for unending intervention is a recipe for internal prostration on our knees to a New World "
of the Pharaoh" Order. Mubarak is a thug.
Egyptians need to sort out their own fate and ruling institutions. "
Let my people go that they may serve me" applies not just to the Hebrews but to everyone. Serving me is not a worship of the global empire. Self-determination and worship of God is His plan. The America First argument is banned from major media reporting plainly is the solution. The
global gulag that drives the aggressive post-industrial colonization foreign policy of our own rogue empire is un-American. The public strives to maintain a disconnect from foreign affairs. The popular expatriate pundit,
Fred Reed explains a major reason. His point applies to Egypt just a well at to south-central Asia.
"Moreover, human beings are intensely local animals. Afghanistan is not very local, being intensely Somewhere Else. It has little to do with getting the kids through school, planting the flower garden, shoving the software project out the door on time, or getting drunk at Bobby-Lou’s Rib Pit". The NeoCon nonsense and the State "of the empire" Department disinformation that the domino theory is back in vogue, with more Arab countries ready to fall begs the true issue. The legitimate objective of an honorable foreign policy needs to protect the American people, not the viceroys of the corporate conglomerate or the
Khazar sociopaths who want a greater Israel.
