Democracy does not belong to a state, but is a value for all humanity.. Is NATO the gateway to the American return to the Middle East?
Afrasianet - On December 9, 2021, regardless of the chaos in democracy and the increasing number of coronavirus infections within the country, the United States held a large-scale so-called "Leaders' Summit for Democracy", conducting a political farce under the guise of democracy, with the aim of distorting democratic values and causing divisions and confrontations.I have come out again to say that democracy must be exported to the Middle East and for the renewed revival of the Greater Middle East project.
The objectives of the new Middle East project, which the United States and Israel have worked on, have always been to eliminate liberation and struggle movements in the Arab world and the other countries included in the project map, namely Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan and Pakistan, in addition to the Arab countries and North Africa.
Among these goals are the introduction of reforms to the curricula of education in the ministries of education in schools and universities, support and improve the role of women and their participation in political life at all levels, and help to hold free and fair elections and the application of the rule of law by establishing a fair judiciary, as well as the preservation of freedom and human rights, end the Arab-Israeli conflict and the establishment of private institutes and colleges in the United States of America and other Western countries to prepare Muslim scholars and preachers in accordance with the new policy.This is what Netanyahu expressed when he set conditions for stopping the war on the Gaza Strip when he pointed to the need to change concepts, values and customs in the region, education and curricula, noting that some Arabs support him in this.
The project also aims to eliminate liberation and struggle movements in the Arab world and other concerned countries and consider these movements as terrorist movements that threaten local and international peace, as well as the Americanization of Arab thought, the domestication of Arab culture, the elimination of the historical memory of Arabs and Muslims to accept partnership with Israel in the future and the division of countries into states on the basis of national, sectarian, sectarian and ethnic, as America toured. In some countries, such as Iraq, it is spreading in other countries, and the fragmentation and division of countries, which is what we see now in Sudan and what will happen in Yemen, Libya, Egypt, Syria and perhaps Saudi Arabia as well.
The door remains open for any political and economic transformations in the countries of the region, and their most important goal is to remove the national identity from the Arab world and divide its countries into multiple entities, and the new Middle East project can only be achieved by fragmenting the fragmentation and making changes in the countries of the region and redrawing a map of them with a new Sykes-Picot, with an imaginary cover that is freedom and democracy.
What is new now is the involvement of NATO in the task of building this new Middle East, where information indicates that despite the tyranny of the war on Gaza over all the news below it, what is being reported from various sources in the decision-making countries indicates that this matter is on the list of priorities and that serious understandings have begun with several Arab capitals to open offices, even with different names, which are mainly offices for NATO and for coordination between the alliance and the countries of the region. Analysts say that the port that the United States wants to establish on the Gaza shore and with Gulf funding, of course, will be an entrance to the Atlantic presence under the door of protecting aid to the people of Gaza. It is ironic here that all this effort may not be needed by Gaza to bring in aid if America wants to, but the entry of aid needs a ceasefire, and this contradicts the American position, which wants to eliminate the resistance not only in Gaza, but also eliminate all resistance movements in the region. And also under the guise of the events of democratic rule in the region, which we have seen its way in Iraq, Libya, Syria and others through NATO, which practiced democracy with bombs and bombardment, and then the so-called Arab Spring and the destruction that caused to the region and the Middle East in general, it has not recovered from what happened so far.
Back at the so-called "Leaders for Democracy Summit," most West Asian and North African countries did not receive an "entry card" for the summit, but were classified as "undemocratic." Of course, the regional media have exposed the hypocrisy of "American democracy" that makes democracy private property and a tool for some people. Iraqi writer Abdul Kalam bluntly, "The pledges made by the United States to Iraq about democracy are in fact a toxic description that only leads to injustice." The Turkish newspaper Le Monde commented that the "Democracy Summit" proved once again the trick of the United States in manipulating its political identity, and is the embodiment of its incurable diseases such as "America First" and "Islamophobia."
The United States has no right to judge whether it is a democracy or not. Confucius said: "If one cannot correct one's behavior, how can one correct the behavior of others?"The United States claims to be a 'beacon of democracy,' but it has committed all kinds of evils in the Middle East. The United States continues to ignore the right of the Palestinian people and contribute to a war of extermination against them, until during the Trump administration it publicly abandoned the "two-state solution" recognized by the international community in general, seriously harming the interests of the Palestinian people.
In 2003, the United States used the existence of weapons of mass destruction as a false accusation to overthrow Saddam's regime, claiming to have brought "democracy" and "freedom" to the Iraqi people, but seized their oil and security. Today, although the Iraqi people have votes to vote, they still worry about their livelihood and their personal safety. A few days ago, Mr. Tariq Al-Hamid, former editor-in-chief of Asharq Al-Awsat, wrote an article asking whether democracy has only one pattern measured by American standards. And whether U.S. practices in the Middle East, such as military occupation and fomenting unrest, are democratic? Tunisian scholar Marzouki also pointed out that according to Biden's logic, democracy has become an exclusive club. Its members are chosen by undemocratic methods, in the interests of the United States. The accumulated evil acts have lost the qualifications of the United States from ordering in the Middle East. Whether or not a democratic country can only be judged by its people, and the United States has no right to make any judgment.
The United States has no right to assess whether a country's democratic model is good or not. The United States has been judging the pros and cons of democracy in all countries based on the logic of hegemony and according to its wishes, calling Iran and Syria "disobedience" an "axis of evil," oppressing against them, and trying to cause conflicts and confrontations in the region in order to use it to maintain hegemony. The Iranian "Tehran Times" and Turkish columnist Hassan Jamal pointed out that the crimes committed by the United States against Iran and other countries It won't disappear forever. Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo and other "black spots" in democracy that the United States cannot erase. The United States avoids talking about racial discrimination, gun violence, and other shortcomings in its country, and selectively ignores its killings of civilians and human rights abuses in other countries. The above shows that its measures of democracy are like a rubber band, and have no credibility whatsoever.The United States has no right to judge whether a country's model of democracy works. After the 9.11 incident, the United States launched the "Greater Middle East Democratic Transition" plan that forcibly planted American democracy in Iraq, plunging Iraq into decades of turmoil and leading to the spread of the Islamic State. In 2011, unrest erupted in several countries in West Asia and North Africa, but the United States claimed that the region had received "a wave of transformation." democratic", instigated the "color revolution" in many countries, and blatantly carried out armed interventions in Syria, Libya, Yemen and other countries, which has only led to chaos, destruction and displacement of peoples, and continues to plunge the region into turmoil. Trampling on the sovereignty of other states in the name of "democratization" will only lead to failure and endless problems. Because democracy is the common value of all humanity, and not the monopoly of any country, the forms of democracy and the ways to achieve it must be diverse in the Middle East, which enjoys deep historical accumulation and colorful religious cultures.
The Biden administration is now pursuing plans to support human rights and democracy in the world and the Middle East. A spokeswoman for the US National Security Council1 also said, explaining that since January 2021, the US administration has begun to take positions that show its support for democracy and its rejection of human rights violations, such as signing a joint statement of the Human Rights Council 46, calling on Egypt to improve its human rights record, and expressing the concern and concerns of the Iraqi government about the human rights situation in Iraq, and urging all forces Iraq's policy to respect human rights and comply with its obligations under international law. The spokeswoman added that the Biden administration has not yet developed specific plans for all human rights files in the region, and that it will seek to deal with each country separately.
The United States' repetition of democracy-promoting rhetoric raises the question of the values, interests, and criteria by which it will balance its relations with Arab governments with which it has strategic interests on the one hand, and on the other hand, its rejection of violations of human rights and public freedoms. The United States will face two problems related to the credibility of its proposal to promote democracy in the Arab region, the first related to its policy towards regional issues, and the second its bias towards the ruling elites.
The question now is, can the United States reproduce its lies and misinformation regarding the promotion of democracy, and can NATO once again be an entry point to impose the falsity of American democracy, even by fire?
