Fallen Hawk Soars Again
Tom Barry*

SILVER CITY, New Mexico, Feb 14 (IPS) - Elliott Abrams, a figure from the Ronald Reagan-era Iran-Contra scandal who describes himself as a ”neo-conservative and neo-Reaganite”, is moving to centre-stage in U.S. foreign policy as head of President George W.. Bush's Global Democracy Strategy.

In his new position, Abrams will oversee the administration's promotion of democracy and human rights while continuing to provide oversight to the National Security Council's directorate of Near East and North African affairs -- including involvement in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.......



......Abrams has long rejected the peace process in the Middle East as a policy of appeasement. His Likudnik positions on Israeli-Palestinian tensions and Middle East restructuring are well established in his writings in the neo-con magazine Commentary and his books.

Abrams authored the chapter on the Middle East in the 2000 blueprint for U.S. foreign policy by the Project for the New American Century (PNAC). Edited by PNAC founders William Kristol and Robert Kagan, ”Present Dangers: Crisis and Opportunity in American Foreign and Defense Policy” is a chapter-by-chapter playbook on how to deal with America's current and future adversaries. .........

2. U.S. foreign policy

Sounds more like Global Tyranny to me. The American public should move towards the criminalization of Bush's domestic & foreign policy.
