The 111th Congress should:
- refuse to commit American troops to defend interests of global
oil corporations in the Mideast.
- follow the policies of America's
Founding Fathers by eliminating government-to-government aid for Israel,
Saudi Arabia, and other governments in the Mideast.
- end policies against private aid to
and commerce with Iraq and other Mideast nations.
-
direct that U.S. military forces be withdrawn from Saudi Arabia;
-
adopt a more even-handed approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
by removing U.S. military and economic support for Israel and ending
active mediation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict;
-
end support for despotic Arab governments, such as those in Egypt and
Saudi Arabia.
On American aid to Iraq and other terrorist nations, see terrorism.

human-rights conditions or peace-making obligations — the arms sales
do nothing to change the behavior of the authoritarian regimes in the
region."
