<\/a>Victoria Nuland: "Let them eat cookies". Click to enlarge<\/p><\/div>\n
The anti-government protestors in Ukraine during the winter received visits from several prominent Western politicians, including US Senator John McCain, and Victoria Nuland from the US State Department who handed out cookies<\/strong> (pictured<\/em>).<\/h5>\nBut there have been very large anti-government protests in many Western European countries in recent weeks, which have received no such support, either from such figures or from elite Western media commentators. Nor have protestors received free cookies from officials at the US State Department.<\/h5>\nSurely if they were so keen on anti-government street protests in Europe, and regarded them as the truest form of \u2018democracy\u2019<\/em>, McCain and Nuland would also be showing solidarity with street protestors in Madrid, Rome, Athens and Paris? I\u2019m confused. Can anyone help me?<\/h5>\n\u2663<\/h5>\nA few weeks ago I saw an interview<\/strong> with the US Secretary of State John Kerry who sai<\/span>d<\/span><\/span><\/a>, \u201cYou just don\u2019t invade another country on phony pretexts in order to assert your interests.\u201d<\/em> But I seem to recall the US doing just that on more than one occasion in the past 20 years or so.<\/h5>\nHave I misremembered the \u2018Iraq has WMDs claim\u2019<\/em>? Was I dreaming back in 2002 and early 2003 when politicians and neocon pundits came on TV every day to tell us plebs that we had to go to war with Iraq because of the threat posed by Saddam\u2019s deadly arsenal? Why is having a democratic vote in Crimea on whether to rejoin Russia deemed worse than the brutal, murderous invasion of Iraq \u2013 an invasion which has led to the deaths of up to 1 million people? I\u2019m confused. Can anyone help me?<\/h5>\nWe were also told by very serious-looking Western politicians and media \u2018experts\u2019<\/em> that the Crimea referendum wasn\u2019t valid because it was held under \u201cmilitary occupation.\u201d<\/em> But I\u2019ve just been watching coverage of elections in Afghanistan, held under military occupation, which have been hail<\/span>ed<\/span><\/span><\/a> by leading western figures, such as NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen as a \u201chistoric moment for Afghanistan\u201d<\/em> and a great success for \u201cdemocracy.\u201d<\/em> Why is the Crimean vote dismissed, but the Afghanistan vote celebrated? I\u2019m confused. Can anyone help me?<\/h5>\n\u2663<\/h5>\nSyria too is rather baffling<\/strong>. We were and are told that radical Islamic terror groups pose the greatest threat to our peace, security and our \u2018way of life\u2019<\/em> in the West. That Al-Qaeda and other such groups need to be destroyed: that we needed to have a relentless \u2018War on Terror\u2019<\/em> against them. Yet in Syria, our leaders have been siding with such radical groups in their war against a secular government which respects the rights of religious minorities, including Christians.<\/h5>\nWhen the bombs of Al-Qaeda or their affiliates go off in Syria and innocent people are killed there is no condemnation from our leaders: their only condemnation has been of the secular Syrian government which is fighting radical Islamists and which our leaders and elite media commentators are desperate to have toppled.

Surely if they were so keen on anti-government street protests in Europe, and regarded them as the truest form of \u2018democracy\u2019<\/em>, McCain and Nuland would also be showing solidarity with street protestors in Madrid, Rome, Athens and Paris?

Why, if they are genuinely concerned about gay rights, do our leaders attack Russia and not countries that imprison or execute gay people? I\u2019m confused.
