Ron Paul Defines Foreign Policy Madness
Posted by M. C. on July 7, 2013
Our foreign policy is something less than ideal. That much should be obvious.
Ron Paul puts it in perspective.
Here is the highlight from Paul’s Institute for Peace 4 July article:
Let’s review US policy toward Egypt to see the foolish hypocrisy of the government’s interventionism: First the US props up the unelected Hosni Mubarak for decades, spending tens of billions of dollars to keep him in power. Then the US provides assistance to those who in 2011 successfully overthrew Mubarak. Then the US demands an election. The Egyptians held an election that was deemed free and fair and shortly afterward the US-funded military overthrows the elected president. Then the US government warns the military that it needs to restore democracy – the very democracy that was destroyed by military coup! All the while the US government will not allow itself to utter the word “coup” when discussing what happened in Egypt yesterday because it would mean they might have to stop sending all those billions of dollars to Egypt.
and Washington wonders why the world hates US.
Be seeing you

The illegitimate domestic regime’s failure to use its soft power influence with the military, to the detriment of its own regional foreign policy objectives, was Mubarak’s undoing. It is poetic justice that the ‘but mocracy and stuffs’ stupidity (the domestic regime could have considered hiring someone, just one person, that could have provided some objective analysis on what ‘can haz mocracy’ would mean) is now seeing its potential terminus at the hands of a military coup. Should the coup succeed and the domestic regime voice its support for such an outcome, one looks forward to having the opportunity to mercilessly pillory the usual raft of dullards that appear to engage in the ‘must defend’ of the domestic regime. Hoisting them up by their own petards until they meltdown will provide for some amusing sport.
