I think this is overwhelmingly the more important abuse of responsibility and integrity (reject the term "loyalty". Its neanderthol.) That a party in PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE (not just a private advocate or elected representative for factions – remember the federalist papers?) would divert their policy responsibilities to a vested clique.

That is impeachable, criminal.

How Israel Is Wrapped Up in Iraq

By JOE KLEIN

Posted Monday, Feb. 10, 2003

" . . . a stronger Israel is very much embedded in the rationale for war with Iraq. It is a part of the argument that dare not speak its name, a fantasy quietly cherished by the neo-conservative faction in the Bush Administration and by many leaders of the American Jewish community.

"The fantasy involves a domino theory. The destruction of Saddam's Iraq will not only remove an enemy of long-standing but will also change the basic power equation in the region. It will send a message to Syria and Iran about the perils of support for Islamic terrorists. It will send a message to the Palestinians too: Democratize and make peace on Israeli terms, or forget about a state of your own. In the wackiest scenario, it will lead to the collapse of the wobbly Hashemite monarchy in Jordan and the establishment of a Palestinian state on that nation's East Bank. No one in the government ever actually says these things publicly (although some American Jewish leaders do). Usually, the dream is expressed in the mildest possible terms: "I have high hopes that the removal of Saddam will strengthen our democratic allies in the region," Senator Joe Lieberman told me last week."

Come on Philip,don't make a fool of yourself in front of your readers who:

- appreciate you very much.

- have known this for at least 5 years if they read Antiwar.com,don't they?

IRAN should make VERY CLEAR to the world what her RESPONSE to aggression WILL BE: Thousands of missiles targetted on every oil-refinery, every oil tanker, and every oil facility in the Middle East. Why waste a good missile on Tel Aviv when the same missile could knock out 5% of the world's daily supply of oil???

Why should Iran only knock out it's OWN OIL INDUSTRY when it is capable of hitting every other major oil producer also?

Millions of poor Arabs throughout the Middle East go to bed hungry; destroying the oil-infrastructure supplying the western world will not cause them much more misery than they already know.

So go ahead. Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran. And if you do, risk having to live without oil (ie, back to the stone age).

Beyond that it is like the sea: low and high tides, from my point of view …

What we don't need is the millstone of Israel wrapped tightly around our necks thanks to the UnAmerican conduct of American Jews, most of whom, like Witty, are more than willing to tell any lie on behalf of Israel. Let's make nice to the Arabs and loosen up those oil spigots. Israel can manage their affairs on their own and American Jews can either get over it or move to the land they love. That would solve more than a few problems.
