My comment on Paul Rogers's recent article

"Its ambitious aim was to cause the overthrow of the 'near enemy' regimes in the Middle East and southwest Asia, replacing them with 'proper' Islamist regimes; to see Zionism destroyed..." Do you have figures and evidence of any attacks on Israel's interests? Are they of any significance? More importantly, you too either has fallen in a trap or that is just your way of working withing the frame work of defending the system, trying to make it better. You are speaking about "the same mistakes being made." They are not mistakes and only an apologist for the state terrorism of the Western regimes would call them mistakes. Occupations, invasions, support of dictators in the Middle East and outside the Middle East, imposed economic policies, support of Israel's state terrorism, support of the so-called Islamist liberals as long as they maintain the status quo of "the free market" and dependency, the struggle of the regional powers for their interets and the interests of the big powers, decades of humiliation and social dislocation... are not mistakes, but a function of the sytem regionally and internationally. In short, unfortunately, you are ignoring that and that is what I call the liberal defence of muder not mistakes.
