There isn't any significant Muslim influence in the Bush admin., so, you can't find any. And since Muslims worldwide and in the USA outnumber Jews, can we conclude that Muslims are making less of an effort than Jews to influence policy in the US? You can have your views on the influence of Jewish people on the US government, but as long as their activities are legal, there nothing wrong with influencing the US government. You shouldn't get upset with them because they are successful - instead perhaps you should get upset with whoever opposes their influence for failing to succeed in their efforts to resist their influence. This is something that I find hard to understand. There are legitimate moral and economic justifications for opposing the overwhelming, one sided US support for Israel. Why are Muslims, especially with oil hovering around $70, unable to get their side of the argument into US policy discussions. I see it as a failure on their part. They can hire lobbyists, donate to political campaigns and do whatever it takes to influence US policy, but apparently they don't. It's not fair to object because the pro-Israel lobby is just good at what is supposed to do....
