HAYAT COLUMN DEADLINE COMING UP:

HAYAT COLUMN DEADLINE COMING UP: Oh my goodness, it’s nearly the end of the month. Which means I need to get my head around doing my next column for Al-Hayat. There is so much going on in the Middle East. But probably people don’t need me, from Africa, to tell them about it.
My old nemesis Martin Indyk being quoted as saying that given the failure of Iraqis to come out and greet the US forces as liberators (duh!), then “There is nothing for it but the use of classic imperialist policies of divide and rule” — or something very similar to that.
So Martin, like, it worked for the imperialists did it? Kept their empires safe forever? Made them loved by all who knew them?
But I don’t feel any of my readers in Hayat really need me to point to the silliness of Martin, Ari Fleischer, or the rest of the US neo-imperialists flailing around in the mire of their own retrograde rhetoric.
Have to think of something else to write about.
