The Zionist-directed U.S. foreign policy is the primary reason why America and Americans are hated by much of the world and is the primary cause of terrorism against our nation.
According to Stephen M. Walt, professor of international relations at Harvard University, “Americans ought to reflect a bit more on the long-term costs of our willingness to do unto others in ways we would most definitely not want them to do unto us.”
Writing on his foreign policy website, professor Walt said that Americans should remember the “Golden Rule—Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
Referring to how the Obama administration is using American power in ways “that remain poorly understood by most Americans” (Obama’s targeted assassination policy against suspected terrorists and the U.S. cyber-warfare campaign against Iran), professor Walt said that what he found “troubling is the inevitable secrecy and deceit that is involved. It’s not just that we are trying to fool our adversaries; the problem is that we end up fooling ourselves, too.
“As I’ve noted before, when our government is doing lots of hostile things in far-flung places around the world and the public doesn’t know about them until long after the fact, then we have no way of understanding why the targets of U.S. power might be angry and hostile.
“As a result, we will tend to attribute their behavior to other, darker motivations.
“Remember back in 2009, when Obama supposedly extended the “hand of friendship” to Iran? At the same time that he was making friendly video broadcasts, he was also escalating our cyber-war efforts against Iran.
“When Iran’s Supreme leader Ali Khamenei reacted coolly to Obama’s initiative, saying: ‘We do not have any record of the new U.S. president. We are observing, watching, and judging. If you change, we will also change our behavior. If you do not change, we will be the same nation as 30 years ago,’ U.S. pundits immediately saw this as a ‘rebuff’ of our supposedly sincere offer of friendship.
“With hindsight, of course, it’s clear that Khamenei had every reason to be skeptical; and now, he has good grounds for viewing Obama as inherently untrustworthy. I’m no fan of the clerical regime, but the inherent contradictions in our approach made it virtually certain to fail. As it did.
“We keep wondering: ‘Why do they hate us?’ Well, maybe some people are mad because we are doing things that we would regard as unjustified and heinous acts of war if anyone dared to do them to us.
“And if we keep doing unto others in this way, it’s only a matter of time before someone does it unto us in return.”
