A KIND OF DEMOCRACY! A dream among the neo-cons in the USA was that democratic revolutions would sweep the Middle East removing its enemies in Syria and Iran -but not its friends in Egypt or Saudi Arabia. But then 23 Hizbollah MP s were elected in The Lebanon allowing it 2 cabinet seats and free elections returned a Hamas govt in the Palestinian territories.That could not be allowed. Israel and the USA converged.Both wanted the destruction of Hamas and Hezbollah ,both have Syria and Iran in their sights. That takes precedence over the survival of a democratically elected govt in Beirut and over any pretensions that Palestinians have any control over their lives. James
