"US interests in the ME are not identical with Israel interests (general point) and, more specifically, not identical with the Sharon governments views of their interest. Yet, some in the Bush government, particularly the folk we often identify as neocons, tend to think so." I agree that US interest and israeli interests not identical. I dont believe neocons believe this at all. They would say that we have similar interests. View it as a spectrum John. Neocons see more id with israel interest and the left sees less. For instance US and UK dont have identical interests as well. Another spectrum with different folks seeing different things. And no i am not accusing you on the illicit control thing although some others do go there with this line of argument. I didnt mean to imply that of you. But i do with some of the folks you might choose to defend. Anyway what was yesterday, a day off for you? Figures your were away(if you were) the day baghdad fell. Was it deliberate? <ggg> mike PS Turkey is an imperfect democracy but then again after the last presidential election some think we are too. I used to have this problem during the civil rights days, particularly with voting rights. Another spectrum and more shades of gray. Now i sound like a liberal--perhaps a neolib?
