I NEVER said that I agreed with that website. The link was actually emailed to me by a Jewish friend from San Francisco. Believe it or not there are some folks that think there may be a radical right wing Jewish lobby that has tremendous influence on our Administration and its foreign policy initiatives. Some even believe that they helped drive our country into an elective war with Iraq. I have never said this. Yet, sometimes its worthwhile to examine multiple perspectives. I have a lot of Jewish friends and I think Israel needs to be protected. Yet, our foreign policy needs balance and its dangerous to let too many hawkish folks have so much influence. I'm not even sure that Bush is fully aware of the agenda of the PNAC and the power some of the right wing advisors around him have is amazing. Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, Edward Luttwak, Dov Zakheim, Kenneth Adelman, Elliott Abrams, Richard Haass, I. Lewis Libby, etc....These folks are all very hawkish and have been in favor of invading Iraq for a long time. They also have A LOT of influence on Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld.
