>>This is not to argue that the pro-Israeli lobby is the only reason for the projected US war against Iraq. At present, there are several forces in United States that are pushing for this war. Prominent among these indigenous forces are the oil corporations, the arms manufacturers, the aerospace industry, and the right-wing Christian evangelists. However, it is doubtful if these indigenous groups, on their own, could have pushed United States so decisively towards the present catastrophic confrontation with the Islamic world. Certainly, the intellectual justifications for this hazardous confrontation have come almost entirely from the pro-Israeli lobby. And their intellectual input may have been vital.<< Nobody among the groups above can afford to or dare to or powerful enough to push a war with obvious huge costs and grave consequences to its own country America, except one single most powerful foreign interest group whose long-term endeavor is dominating the Middle East, and who has to use the America power to achieve that goal. Those who think the real reason for the Iraq war is for oil for the American oil group should think again.
