WASHINGTON: U.S. Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani said he opposes creation of a Palestinian state at this time and would take a tough stand with Iran, including destroying its nuclear infrastructure "should all else fail."

Outlining his foreign policy views in the September/October issue of Foreign Affairs magazine, Giuliani said "too much emphasis" has been placed on brokering negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians — an apparent swipe at President George W. Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who have been pushing both sides for final status negotiations despite Hamas' takeover of Gaza in June.

In addition, U.S. allies in the region such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan have been pressing the U.S. to take a more active role in bringing about a settlement.

"It is not in the interest of the United States, at a time when it is being threatened by Islamist terrorists, to assist the creation of another state that will support terrorism," the former New York City mayor said.

"Palestinian statehood will have to be earned through sustained good governance, a clear commitment to fighting terrorism, and a willingness to live in peace with Israel," Giuliani said. "America's commitment to Israel's security is a permanent feature of our foreign policy."

Giuliani is basically letting you know if you pick him you can you can guarantee at least 4 more years of war if not WWIII. I guess that's why the fundamentalist christians are willing to give him a pass because they know with Rudy in office, there's a greater chance of bringing about their Armageddon.

1. Giuliani has gone totally regressive ever since the 9/11 responders

called him on his NYC terror pose. He must have decided that his only chance is the right-wing bigots.
