>>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.

Thanks for posting that article! The author, however, fails to link 911 and the anthrax scare to Israel's drive to war... Here are some important clues: Message 16378676 Message 17736352 Message 17766833 Message 17986271 Message 18022471 Message 18178852 As you can see, it's not just a matter of the pro-Israel lobby pushing for war --it's about Israel's TERRORIST blackmail against her American sugar daddy! Besides, as the US drive to war gets bogged in UN and NATO diplomatic quagmires, as the warmongers' momentum flickers out... I'm afraid that doesn't bode well for President Bush. Think about it: right now, the best kicker to kick-start the war on Iraq is the assassination of the US President! For, in that case, it'd be impossible for France, Germany, even Turkey and Arab countries to stop President Cheney from waging the war.... Of course, the assassination of G.W. Bush will be pinned on Al Qaeda and Bin Laden --talk about a sinister conspiracy.... Gus
