You've met Fouad Ajami here before.
Ajami can be relied upon to deliver good pro-USA face-time on American networks, which I suppose is why we see so much of him.
Today he was interviewed on CNN about the Innocence of Muslims fiasco. Ajami deftly turned it into an anti-Hezzbolla rant.
You see, Hezzbolla boss Hassan Nasrallah made a speech the other day calling for demonstrations against the film. This was Ajami's lever to turn the discussion away from the film and towards the evil and despicable and USA-hating Nasrallah.
Why does Nasrallah rail against this modest work of art, but stays silent about the carnage being wrought in Syria by the evil and despicable and USA-hating Assad just next door?
Ajami seems to have a problem with Arab dictators slaughtering their own people. Apparently he believes that's America's job.
To this day Ajami extols the virtues of the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
As for the Syria "slaughter", that is being orchestrated by our NATO ally Turkey, and paid for by our non-democratic allies Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Not that you'd ever hear those truths from Ajami's lips.
And as for Innocence of Muslims, well, that exercise in idiocy is just proof of our cultural superiority.
We do have freedom of expression here after all.
