Raghida Dergham writes for al Hayat on the American presidential candidates and foreign policy from an Arab perspective. Quick excerpt:
Rarely do the Democrats remember that global protests to American policies are not solely ascribed to the war in Iraq. They are equally ignited by the policies adopted by Democratic presidents in the past decades. Those include the Arab and Islamic protest against the American bias to Israel which is absolved of accountability and punishment, as well as President Clinton's subjection of Iraq to an unprecedented decade-long system of sanctions which destroyed Iraq's social fabric and infrastructure.
It certainly is a bit naive to think that not being a Republican is enough to garner universal adoration.
