Imperialist Threat

Query: Won’t the State of Canaan be a protruding American imperialist threat to the whole of the Near and Middle East? Reply: It could be – but America is and could be a lot of things: not only a threat, but its opposite, a great bolster to peaceful relations in the Arab and surrounding world. Think, for a moment of the alternatives. If matters go on as at present, there will be a continuous danger of one, two, three and more wars going on in the region. Shifting and backing with Israel, the US will be in and out of war after war, never making up its mind which countries to use as puppets, which to support, which to oppose, how to make deals with Russia, China, Turkey, Pakistan and India and a dozen other countries, not to mention the European nations.  Right now, that is to say, we have an American imperialism in the Region that is a confounded nuisance. But Canaan State can be turned in all directions, and deal by diplomatic, economic, educational and every other peaceful and useful means with the countries within reach. Half the Canaan population will be tired of the Near East and will exercise its competence on the rest of the world. The Israel nuclear threat will stand down, and even disappear, and with this a happy sigh of relief will float up around the world. The USA, that could reach and strike anywhere in the world would, as at present, be disinclined to strike anywhere. Israel, by contrast, appears sorely tempted to strike at one or two countries.  And the world stands in dread of its happening.
