According to Pipes, a “civil war” in Iraq would be a good thing since it would invite “Syrian and Iranian participation, hastening the possibility of an American confrontation with those two states,” an objective at the very core of the Straussian plan to unleash society and culture destroying chaos and violence in the Middle East and thus breaking the region up into more easily controllable Bantustans. More sectarian violence would also put an end to the “dream of Iraq serving as a model for other Middle Eastern countries, thus delaying the push toward elections. This will have the effect of keeping Islamists from being legitimated by the popular vote, as Hamas was just a month ago.”

In other words, if thousands of Iraqis must suffer horrible deaths in a “civil war” created by the Straussian neocons in the Pentagon, this will be a price worth paying, as Madeline Albright said of the medieval sanctions imposed on Iraq (1.5 million Iraqis killed, 500,000 of them children), because it will prevent democratic elections resulting in the empowerment of leaders opposed by the Straussian neocons.

As Pipes views it, an Iraqi “civil war” can only be considered a good thing because Muslims will die, not non-Muslims, and for Daniel Pipes and his Straussian neocon ilk, thousands of dead Muslims is not a big deal. In fact, as Pipes hints, the “civil war” in Iraq is all about killing as many Muslims as possible, adding an appreciable heap to the 250,000 or so Iraqis killed since Bush launched his invasion.

Pipes’ admission that “civil war” in Iraq is a good thing on several levels gives more credence to the claim that the Straussian neocons basically engineered the current violence through black ops and provocations. Let us give thanks that Daniel Pipes is a windbag unable to keep a secret or pretend, as the Bush administration does, that the “civil war” in Iraq is an unfortunate tragedy. In fact, it is all part of a long-held plan adopted wholesale from the Jabotinsky Likudites in Israel.
