Albert, perhaps the whole discussion relative to blaming Israel for this war is better understood in the sense that this particular element is only a part to what's overall going on. It is, by no means, the whole issue.

This war has to do with:

* Bush wins 2004, and in congressional elections, because he and his party will become known as the one who took Saddam down.

* The presence of this war, and the war on Afghanastan, as well as 9/11, together have effectively served to keep how Bush got [s]elected president off the news pages.

* This war very well cloaks the bad and worsening economy now plaguing America.

* Those who are oil-greased and corporately connected with the Bush Administration come out golden, what with control over the world's primary oil supply and the contracts that'll be issued for rebuilding Iraq's infrastructure.

* Israel makes out due to decreased interference from Iraq.

This war has nothing to do with:

* Threats to US national security.
* Threats to the national security of Iraq's neighboring nations.
* Weapons of mass destruction.
* Morality of liberating the Iraqi people.
* Building democracies throughout the Middle East.
