Sleeping with the ‘enemy’?
President Bush has painted himself into a corner, by his overpowering painting of all Muslims and all Arabs as terrorists and enemies of the US and Israel. He cannot breakout of his own predicament without breaking the walls. Hence the Bush threat of veto on any adverse legislation planned by the Congress on sale of US ports to Dubai investors. The people of the United States have been so thoroughly brainwashed that when they see Arabs or Muslims, they instinctively reach for the guns. A superpower cannot work in a corner; cannot survive in isolation; cannot help making friends and influencing people, even among its supposedly enemy camp. That is the gist of real-politick. Bush has had his way blustering through as long as he could sell his scare tactic as the highest level of patriotism. The neo-con made it easy, as long as he kept demonizing ghosts of terrorism in Muslim world. A whole cult of Muslim-demonizing had sprung up. Now, Bush proposal on Dubai investment, though through the British group P&O, is being treated as blasphemy by both sides of the Congress divide. It will require all of his bravado, ingenuity and willingness to open up his secret dealings, to be able for him to swim against the tide that he had himself turned on.
