21 septembre<\/a> sur ces d\u00e9clarations de Giuliani.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abIn London this week, Rudy Giuliani proposed what is probably the single most extremist policy of any major presidential candidate, certainly this year and perhaps in many years:<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbRudy Giuliani talked tough on Iran yesterday, proposing to expand NATO to include Israel and warning that if Iran’s leaders go ahead with their goal to be a nuclear power we will prevent it, or we will set them back five or 10 years.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbWhile Giuliani did not explicitly address the implications for Iran of adding Israel to NATO in his speech, his aides later highlighted a 2006 Heritage Foundation paper by Nile Gardiner, a former Thatcher aide who was announced as a new Giuliani adviser yesterday.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThat step would leave the mullahs with no illusions about the West’s determination to respond to Iran’s strategic threat to the region, Gardiner wrote. Any nuclear or conventional attack on Israel, be it direct or through proxies such as Hezbollah or other terrorist groups, would be met by a cataclysmic response from the West.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbAdding Israel to NATO has been opposed by France and some other European nations in the past, largely because it would entangle the alliance in the Middle East.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbLike most countries, Israel deems all of its wars to be defensive wars in response to threats. So Rudy Giuliani, as President, would in essence deem any war in which Israel is involved to be, by definition, a war on the U.S., and would use American resources and lives to become involved in any such war and fight on behalf of Israel. Shouldn’t the fact that the leading GOP candidate for President believes such a thing be the source of a bit more discussion? Other than John Edwards’ views regarding haircuts, is there any major presidential candidate who has espoused a view anywhere near this radical or controversial?<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tCes interventions constituent une indication convaincante du climat qui va s’installer aux USA pendant la campagne \u00e9lectorale. Ce climat va continuellement peser sur la politique ext\u00e9rieure des USA, notamment dans l’affrontement contre l’Iran. Cette sorte de proposition (Isra\u00ebl dans l’OTAN) indique qu’il n’est plus question d’unilat\u00e9ralisme des USA comme lors du premier mandat de Bush. Les Europ\u00e9ens, qui ont tant d\u00e9plor\u00e9 cette politique, seraient bien un jour conduits \u00e0 la regretter. Ce que Giuliani propose n’est rien d’autre que l’extension de l’unilat\u00e9ralisme am\u00e9ricaniste \u00e0 tout l’Occident, et l’engagement de tout l’Occident dans tous les effets des affrontements extr\u00e9mistes entre Isra\u00ebl et ses voisins. (On pourrait imaginer que l’\u00e9quipe Sarko-Kouchner pourrait \u00eatre satisfaite par l’id\u00e9e puisqu’elle pourrait faire d’une pierre deux coups : r\u00e9int\u00e9grer compl\u00e8tement l’OTAN et attaquer l’Iran?)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tComme l’observe Greenwald, dans un monde rationnel ces propositions de Giuliani provoqueraient un toll\u00e9 chez les autres candidats. (\u00abIn a rational world, Giuliani’s proposal would be a major controversy, and the other presidential candidates Republican and Democrat alike would be loudly pointing to this extremist view to harm the Giuliani campaign.<\/em>\u00bb) Il n’en a rien \u00e9t\u00e9, aucune protestation, aucune attaque contre Giuliani. Il ne serait pas \u00e9tonnant qu’on retrouve ces propositions chez d’autres candidats.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
