LaRouche Interviewed on his Southwest Asia Doctrine
In April of 2004, then Democratic Party presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche was interviewed by EIR Arabic editor Hussein Askary to discuss his "LaRouche Doctrine for Southwest Asia." LaRouche insisted that the region of Southwest Asia (misnamed the "Middle East" by British imperialists) was in fact a natural crossroads between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean and, as such, could become a "crossroads of economic development" for all of Eurasia, instead of being a cockpit of conflict and war. LaRouche also insisted that the unique role that the United States could play in this would be to once again take up it's historic mission as the world's leading anti-colonial republic to "free the world from the legacy of Anglo-Dutch tyranny."
Obviously, if LaRouche's Doctrine of 2004 had been adopted by the United States, we would be living in a completely different world today. A full exoneration of LaRouche and his ideas would be an appropriate step to ensure that newly elected President Donald Trump could now completely break from the Bush/Obama/Biden foreign policy insanity that has ruled the United States for the past two decades, and actually establish a permanent peace through development in Southwest Asia.
