How Neocons Destabilized Europe<\/a><\/h3>\n

Exclusive:\u00a0The neocon prescription of endless \u201cregime change\u201d is spreading chaos across the Middle East and now into Europe, yet the neocons still control the mainstream U.S. narrative and thus have diagnosed the problem as not enough \u201cregime change,\u201d as Robert Parry reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/header>\n

The refugee chaos that is now pushing\u00a0deep into Europe \u2013 dramatized by gut-wrenching photos of Syrian toddler Aylan Kurdi whose body washed up on a beach in Turkey \u2013 started with the cavalier ambitions of American neocons and their liberal-interventionist sidekicks who planned to remake the Middle East and other parts of the world through \u201cregime change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instead of the promised wonders of \u201cdemocracy promotion\u201d and \u201chuman rights,\u201d what these \u201canti-realists\u201d have accomplished is to spread death, destruction and destabilization across the Middle East and\u00a0parts of Africa and now into Ukraine and\u00a0the heart of Europe. Yet, since these neocon forces still control the Official Narrative, their\u00a0explanations get top billing \u2013 such as that there hasn\u2019t been enough \u201cregime change.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"U.S.<\/a><\/p>\n

For instance, The Washington Post\u2019s neocon editorial page editor Fred Hiatt on Monday\u00a0blamed<\/a>\u201crealists\u201d for the cascading catastrophes. Hiatt\u00a0castigated them and President Barack Obama for not intervening more aggressively in Syria to depose President Bashar al-Assad, a longtime neocon target for \u201cregime change.\u201dBut the truth is that this accelerating spread of human suffering can be traced back directly to the unchecked influence of the neocons and their liberal fellow-travelers who have\u00a0resisted political compromise and, in the case of Syria, blocked any realistic efforts to work out a power-sharing agreement between Assad and his political opponents,\u00a0those\u00a0who are not terrorists.<\/p>\n
