Claptrap

"Any real chance for a political settlement — and for decent lives for the people of the region — depends on the United States."

The above is the very last sentence of a Noam Chomsky op-ed in, of course, The New York Times, and the sentence is nothing more than claptrap.  Not to mention a juxtaposition.  The only chance for “decent lives” for “the people of the region” is for the Arabs to pull their heads out of the sand and use reason.  The Arabs are attacking the wrong enemy.  Their enemy isn’t Israel or the United States.  The Arabs enemy is the irrationality feeding upon bastardized Islam.  A bastardization fertilized by the minds of men in search of power over masses.  Until such time as a Arab Renaissance occurs which breaks what Ayn Rand termed “the rule of the mystics,” the Arabs will be destined to scratch away at existence.  It’s not the United States, Israel or any other country holding the Arabs back.  It’s the Arabs themselves.
