PM Benjamin Netanyahu seeking all the help he can get, even from Pres. Trump

Well it's time for Prime Minister Netanyahu to face the music of a court of justice, and time again for him to do his best to garner votes for another 4 years as PM.  He gives his performance every time he's up for re-election!  Usually, he can count on the Israelis to vote him in to prevent any impending disturbance in Gaza.  The mere threat of havoc from the lowly Palestinian enclave there on Israeli soil suffices another 4 years as his being Prime Minister.

But this time, he's up for charges in a court of law.  He needs to get some superman support--enter, President Trump to the rescue to save the PM for another term!  Trump promptly on cue claims the Golan Heights the property of Israel!  No need to work out a deal with Syria for the transfer to be complete.

On the radio tomorrow, a commentator likened the blatant act of Trump to Putin's take-over of the Crimea from Ukraine.  Just declare it an international reality.  Nobody cares, one way or another, apparently.

I sincerely hope--that's all I can do from my being in Washington, DC for now--that the Israelis will see through this overture to the impending election day and not be persuaded to vote for Netanyahu and against sound reasoning pertaining to the real solution in Palestine--a single nation of Israel with Palestinians living peacefully alongside their Israeli neighbors (with no Palestinian state that would become defunct the moment it would come into existence).   

Cato Institute Book Review: US Gullibility in Foreign Policy, Author: Ted Galen Carpenter

In a scathing attack on US diplomacy over the centuries, author Carpenter shows the preposterous clowns that drew support in overthrowing some particular government's ner'r-do-well extant regime.  Usually, the US proposed a regime change with a view to promote democracy world-wide, but as Carpenter shows, the results weren't what men of good will were anticipating!  Sheer calamity in most case was the result.  The discussion of  Mr. Carpenter's book on Gullibility took place March 19th in Washington, DC.  Commentator: Mr. Jacob Heilbrunn.

The author Carpenter must have had a good belly-laugh as disaster after disaster unfolded in writing his accounts.

Absolute stupidity regarding the world scene pertaining to a US administration after administration's sincere desire to extend democracy world-wide.  Clearly, what I think his precis shows is that groups not governing most times have not the qualifications to govern.

Being in bondage and enslavement to a repressive government is morally wrong!  Then, let all men and women of good will seek remedy for the immoral oppression!

That is why I believe it so important that the US joins with other democratic countries and their prodigies along-the-way toward citizen freedom through sanctions and whatever other means they can agree upon to exert pressure and exact penalties upon those reigning regimes that terrorize ordinary citizens and freedom-loving peoples the world over.  For me, I am  thankful to the US for is maintaining military bases around the world on behalf of the cause for freedom and the righteousness of democratic principles.  This is a moral stance the US has taken, though it has most times chosen the wrong people to support and want to rule.
