Strange bedfellows? Wolfowitz has Arab feminist girlfriend

Conspiracy-minded foes of Paul Wolfowitz like to portray him as a leading light in Washington's group of Jewish neo-conservatives driving a pro-Israel policy.

The U.S. deputy defense secretary was one of the architects of the war to overthrow Saddam Hussein. For his detractors, it is evidence that he is hostile to Arab regimes.

-snip-

In fact, there is a woman from whom Wolfowitz does draw support for his views, but she comes from an unexpected background.

His closest companion is a middle-age Arab feminist whose views on instilling democracy in her native Middle East have helped bolster his resolve. Shaha Ali Riza is a senior World Bank official who was born in Tunis and grew up in Saudi Arabia.

-snip-

For him, the war on terror brought with it the chance to pursue democracy across the Islamic world. In these views, he has found common ground with Riza.

"She felt that the U.S. supported democracy all over the world except in Arab countries," said a friend. "She believed that was wrong and that democracy can and must be promoted in the Arab world, even if it upsets feudal rulers and dictators."

5. "Jewish neo-conservatives" -- Let's stop right there!

WTF ever pointed out that he was Jewish? Notice how these neo-cons pull what ever PC-inspired card they have up their sleeves?

6. God, read the original article in the Telegraph

It is over the top with the anti-Semitism angle to Wolfowitz' critics:

Also mentions Ms. Riza's involvement with the Iraq exiles:
'She previously worked for the Iraq Foundation, set up by expatriates in 1991 to push for democracy and human rights in that country after the first Gulf war, and then established the Middle East programme at the National Endowment for Democracy, a federal agency created under Ronald Reagan in 1983 with the ambitious goal of promoting American political values internationally."

8. Whoa! Lucky the woman to snag her own genuine Wolfowitz!

Life would be a dream, would it not? He's too damned compassionate to be true. He's helping to make the world better for selected people to control.
