'Civil war & genocide fruits of instant MidEast democracy'

Jul 3, 2012 by RussiaToday


RT interviews Martin Sieff - former senior foreign correspondent for The Washington Times and former Managing Editor for United Press International. The author of "The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Middle East" (Regnery, 2008), he has received three Pulitzer Prize nominations for international journalism. He argues that American foreign policy is self-righteous and often contradictory when it comes to the Middle East and Russia. He says America's foreign policy is misguided in its attempts to export "instant democracy" - and assumptions that the US model will work the same everywhere could have potentially dangerous consequences.
