In the current issue of Commentary, the influential magazine of the American Jewish Committee, Norman Podhoretz makes a case that it is not enough for the U.S. to attack only Afghanistan and Iraq. Mr. Podhoretz argues that "changes of regime are the sine qua non throughout the region."The challenge that President Bush faces, says Mr. Podhoretz, is "to fight World War IV — the war against militant Islam." He identifies the enemies: "The regimes that richly deserve to be overthrown and replaced are not confined to the three singled-out members of the 'axis of evil' (Iraq, Iran, North Korea). At a minimum, the axis should extend to Syria and Lebanon and Libya, as well as 'friends' of America like the Saudi royal family and Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, along with the Palestinian Authority."FROM JUST WAR TO CRAZED WAR antiwar.com Norman Podhoretz , writing in the February Commentary, suggests we may have to smash – "willy-nilly" he puts it – five or six or seven Muslim governments, (including Norman's particular bête noir, the Palestinian Authority) before final victory is achieved.

At a minimum, the axis should extend to Syria and Lebanon and Libya, as well as "friends" of America like the Saudi royal family and Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, along with the Palestinian Authority, whether headed by Arafat or one of his henchmen." Podhoretz makes it clear that it is the United States that should do the overthrowing and replacing.
