Saddam won't be funding Palestinians to conduct suicide bomb attacks against Jews and won't be able to kill Americans in Israel [as he did with a bomb at a university]. I don't know how much of my taxes are going from QUALCOMM to the USA to Israel. But I have heard there is quite a bit. Used, I understand, to buy military equipment. Since military equipment needs live testing, there is some argument that it's worth having militarily active areas to try things out to see how they work. The Patriot missiles for example, missed a lot of Scuds. I'm also okay with some expenditure in defence of a country established by the United Nations, though I'd like to see large constitutional changes in the UN. I don't believe Iraq I or II were to benefit Israel at all. Though that was an obvious outcome - like building a bridge to somewhere benefits property owners near where the bridge is built [in terms of capital gains if not quality of life due to noise]. Neither do I think the Zionist idea was part of an imperialist plot for the USA, though imperialism was part of the outcome. I don't know about the "leftism" association. Seems questionable. Kissinger, Jacobs, and many others are not exactly raving commies. I haven't even spent 2 seconds reading it, but here's a link which suggests your theory is a load of rot: biblebelievers.org.au As in Israel, I dare say there are swarms of different political thoughts among Jews and that as with everyone else, their thinking changes from decade to decade and even day to day. I know I don't think the same thing from young to old and have changed my views in major ways. Mqurice
