I think this war will benefit Israel, and I am glad of it. I read tonight, btw, that there were 400,000 Jewish people in Iraq in the 1960's; today there are about 60.

Re: I never said that this war for Israel. Well, in post #274 when you answered my post, you did not deny the war was for Israel. You said,"I'd suggest to you that this war was not primarily for Israel." and now you said the war was not for Israel. That's why I said you changed your statements. And I hope you are not trying to hide what's in your mind. In fact, what an individual says if this war was for Israel or not is not so important to the fact-finding. But what the Zionist leaders said and how they behaved are important to our discussion on this issue. Let me remind you with a few(among many) recent reports here.

With foreign policy experts in Washington becoming increasingly critical of the wisdom of a military strike, and European governments showing no willingness to support an attack, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon wants to make it clear that he is the US President's most reliable ally. "Any postponement of an attack on Iraq at this stage will serve no purpose," Raanan Gissin, a senior Sharon adviser, said yesterday. theage.com.au ATTACK IRAN THE DAY IRAQ WAR ENDS, DEMANDS ISRAEL, DEMANDS ISRAEL.
