BUSH'S SALE OF WEAPONS TO SUNNI ARABS AND ISRAELIS THREATENS WORLD PEACE FOR NEXT 50 YEARS

The more one considers Mr. Bush's proposal of selling 20 billion in arms to Sunni Arab countries and 30 billion to Israel, the more dangerous this scheme appears. If he gets his way, Bush will most certainly guarantee Middle East conflict for the next 50 or even 100 years.

But Bush and Cheney have this mind set that the way to achieve hegemony of the United States and destroy "enemies" is through military weapons and continued warfare. They must so hate Iran and the Iranians that they foolishly want to arm Arab countries who have no love for their Shiite neighbor Iran. So, in their zeal to offset Iran, Bush and Cheney will risk having continued bloody and secular conflict between Israel and its freshly armed Arab neighbors. In other words, war without end in the Middle East.

Congress needs to stop this military sale and reckless escalation. Nothing can be gained by bombs and war planes. No more military sales to any country in the Middle East. Furthermore, we need a leader like Obama who will not be afraid to sit down with the Iranians and negotiate, rather than bomb.

Bush, however, still has 18 months in office. We must still all be afraid of his dangerous and reckless proposals.
