This comes directly after Perle's
recent blast at Russia in defense of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the wealthiest
oligarch in that nation.
Is there any nation besides Israel that
Richard Perle hasn't fulminated against during the last few years? He
appears to be angry with the entire world, and determined to punish and destroy
anyone who disagrees with him and his Likud comrades in the Israeli
government.
This would not be an especially important
matter except for one point: Perle and his friends are in charge of the
Bush administration. This is the group which has been most responsible for
promoting the Iraq War and ruining America's relations with the rest of the
world.
(Why does one have to turn to the foreign
press to read stories of this kind? Why aren't the American big media
covering this kind of story thoroughly and prominently? They give the
impression that they are trying to protect Perle from his own
extremism.)

| GENEVA: A senior
Pentagon advisor dismissed on Thursday as a "very bad idea" an unofficial
Middle East peace plan launched by a group of Israeli and Palestinian
politicians. The so-called "Geneva initiative" was unveiled earlier this
month as the internationally backed Middle East roadmap was stalled by
continued violence between Israel and the Palestinians. "It's a very bad
idea," Richard Perle said in an interview with the Swiss newspaper Le
Temps in which he also sharply criticised Switzerland for lending support
to the bid. "This intervention is totally inappropriate. By lending its
encouragement to a group of citizens who only represent themselves,
Switzerland is adding to the chaos," he said. "Why doesn't (Swiss foreign
minister) Micheline Calmy-Rey intervene in the Basque problem (in
Spain)?... Why doesn't she do the same in Northern Ireland? That would be
ridiculous," Perle added. "Israel is a democracy with a
democratically-elected government. What would one say if (Israeli Prime
Minister) Ariel Sharon indirectly got involved in a dispute between the
Swiss federal government and a canton?" he said. Switzerland says it has
only acted as a "facilitator" in the initiative drawn up by opposition
left-wing Israeli and prominent Palestinians, which is expected to be
concluded in mid to late November. Israel actively opposes the plan and
said it will only follow the deadlocked roadmap aimed at ending the bloody
three-year conflict with the creation of a Palestinian state by 2005 with
security guarantees for Israel. According to available details, the Geneva
plan calls for shared sovereignty over disputed areas of the holy city of
Jerusalem and would grant the Palestinians 97.5 percent of the West Bank.
In exchange, Palestinian refugees would waive their right of return to
areas now incorporated in the state of Israel as it was founded in 1948.
