Condoleezza Rice is back. The US secretary of state is touring the region to "encourage" the resumption of the peace process, according to her aides. But according to what she has been saying all last week in interviews with American newspapers, she is here to pit Arabs against each other.
She said an "alliance of moderates" has emerged in the region, under her sponsorship, to confront "the alliance of extremists" namely the Palestinian ruling party Hamas and Lebanon's Hezbollah resistance group. --
-- The most dangerous element of Rice's alliance of moderates scheme is that it would be under the direct supervision of Israel. The Jewish state would be able to set the rules and policies in our region.
It is pity that Rice comes to the region only a few days after the release of the Iraq report without getting the message. According to the report, prepared by a number of US terrorism experts, the threat of terror increased significantly after the US intervention in Iraq. --
