Imperial Hypocrisy

It is hypocrisy in foreign policy when one imperialism seeks to prevent a weaker nation from becoming imperialistic like themselves, or when one imperialism threatens to take over another imperialism.

One imperialism in the hand is worth two in the bush. For example, before the United States or Israel tries to prevent Iran from imperialistic religious aggression, it should pull back from its own military-industrial-complex imperialism, and Zionist imperialism.

Seeking to extend the power or territories of one nation, religion, ideology, ethnic group, etc., over another sovereign nation is not the same as having a strong defense, second to none, against imperial threats.

“Neoconservatives” have been in charge of an imperialistic American foreign policy and they need to be detached from American foreign policy. If they do succeed in taking us to war with Iran, the one good thing to come from such a disastrous undertaking might be the ending of neoconservative influence and power.

Politicians, or statesman, will eventually rise, once again, who believe the old cliches that good military fences make good neighbors, or who believe in minding our own business. These localist cliches make sense for future foreign policy in a world of thousands of evolving small states, with regional light federalism to protect their independence. It's that simple, and that difficult.
