Quote- The Reality of Bush's Mid-East Policy

Jun 4: Quote- The Reality of Bush's Mid-East Policy

From Where The Right Went Wrong, by Patrick J. Buchanan p.33

"Sixty years of western nations excusing and accommodating the lack of freedom in the Middle East did nothing to make us safe because in teh long run, stability in the Middle East did nohting to make us safe."

President Bush was hereby declaing the U.S. Mideast policy since FDR to be a failure that "did nohting to make us safe"- because our allies were not democratic. But this is nonsense. In the Middle East in the Cold War, the United State had the support of the shah in Iran, presidents Sadat and Mubarak in Egypt, the Saudi royal family, and the kings of Morocco and Jordan. Does President Bush believe U.S. support of these monarchs and autocrats "did nohting to make us safe"- though we won the Cold War?
