Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, in the presence of officials of the “peace quartet,” told BBC Nov. 9, according to Guysen International News, that he is convinced President-elect Obama is “determined to push talks between Israelis and Palestinians, and bring Islam and the West closer together.” This is unreal if not ridiculous. The Arabs are not interested in getting closer to the West, to Israel or to peace; they want more power. What Blair thinks is peace for them is just a steppingstone to their real purpose – the liquidation of the state of Israel. Western leaders, including President Bush, are denying in their policies and with their words the Judeo-Christian roots of Western Civilization and therewith are also denying their own personal and political reality. This is the reason why they are unaware of the real motives of our enemies.
