Thats the question. Interesting, since some Muslims would argue there's something in Marxism that's akin to capitalism! Sayyid Qutb does just that and ends up concluding that since Marxism and capitalism lead to the same failed ends, what Islam offers the world is an alternative and solution to those doomed ideologies.http://www.israpundit.com/2008/?p=660#comment-7660 By: Ted Belman- April 6, 2008 Jared is giving me a hard time. I must respect him and Eidelberg because they are far more knowledgeable than I. I do not wish to take a stand on Eidelberg's comment Under Brzezinskis influence, Carter lowered the defense budget and pursued a soft line toward the Soviet Union, Jared thinks it beyond insane. Its not for me to reconcile conflicting ideas in Eidelberg's essay though I attempted to do it. Besides that is a collateral point. More important is the issue of whether Maxism has...http://www.israpundit.com/2008/?p=660#comment-7612 By: Jared Israel- April 6, 2008 Ted Belman claims that Eidelberg wrote that Brzezinski urged Carter to go easy on the USSR in certain ways, while at the same time using the Islamists against the USSR. Not true. First, Brzezinski was not soft on Russia, period. Second, in the text Belman quoted from Eidelberg, Eidelberg wrote nothing about using Islamists against the USSR. Indeed, in the email Ted Belman sent his email list, he quoted Eidelberg precisely to support the argument that since Brzezinski, who was a Marxist...http://www.israpundit.com/2008/?p=660#comment-7438 By: Ted Belman- April 5, 2008 I hear ya Pesky and you may be right.http://www.israpundit.com/2008/?p=660#comment-7500 By: h peskin- April 5, 2008 WHY McCAIN WILL NOT BE ELECTED PRESIDENT. Age: At 72 McCain would be the oldest elected President in U. S. History. Health: McCain has had 4 bouts with Melanoma, a particularly deadly form of skin cancer. Additionally, He has suffered permanent neurological damage resulting from being shot down over Korea.

He is right on many things. The war accomplished no good. I am not in favour of humanitarian intervention except in very extreme circumstances. So what if Hussein was a brutal dictator. Under Hussein, Iraq was stable. The whole idea of spreading democracy is an impossible task. One might even question why the US stayed after the first Gulf war. Whatever threat a resurgent Iraq might have been, it is nothing compared to the one posed by Iran now. ZB was.http://www.israpundit.com/2008/?p=660#comment-7463 By: yamit82- April 5, 2008 I refer all who commented above to Brezezinslis lates article on how he views the World today!

He did not have a leftist bone in his body.If you have any shred of evidence to the contrary, kindly provide it Eidelberg sees leftists, liberals under his bed, has on numerous occasions attacked Ben Gurion and other Labour leaders. He remains a divisive and inflammatory figure with delusions of some day becoming Israel's ideological savior. He.http://www.israpundit.com/2008/?p=660#comment-7436 |
