Much more plausible is the suggestion that this plan is being promoted in the interests of Israel.

Only if you assume that no US interests are involved in fighting Iraq. Considering that Saddam Hussein has already developed terrorists to attack US interests, tried to assassinate American leaders, and is about to get nukes (which presumably will aid both the aims of revenge and his life-long ambitions of regional hegemony), that's a rather remarkable assumption, wouldn't you say?

Does the author offer evidence for this remarkable suggestion, such as explaining why it's really in our interest to make alliance with Saddam, for example? Or perhaps he thinks it self-evident that the US has no national interests at stake in the Mideast? No, he only notices that the supporters of the Iraq war also support Israel. QED, I suppose.

Do you call this an argument?
