I see where you're coming from......US + Israel = Bad
Saddam + Hammas = good
In your own time, carry on.
I don't believe thats what he is saying at all.
What he appears to be saying is that the US world 'crusade' leads off with 'democracy for all', yet when a party they don't like is democratically elected (even the UN agree with this one) they change the rules of the game.
'Democracy for all (as long as its a nice pro-US party elected)' seems to be the reality.
Although Israel flouts many UN resolutions with its continual occupation of Palestinian areas you don't see the US standing up in the UN demanding action take, why? Because they are one and the same for all intents and purposes. Israeli money funds the US and the US arms Israel. They call the UK 'the 51st state', perhaps people should look a little further east for the true 51st state.
