Note that the main schemer then was Ariel Sharon whose invasion of Lebanon was part of this plan for division and conquest of the entire Arab world. Sharon is now again in power but has used American Zionist sympathizers like Perle and Wolfowitz to have the U.S. military carry out his scheme for the ultimate establishment of Greater Israel. These men are not reprehensible because they happen to be Jews. Many American Jews oppose both the war against Iraq and Israel's cruel occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. These men may be guilty of questionable loyalties that appear to place the interests of Israel above the security of the United States. It is not their religious or ethnic group that is being questioned. It is their political and military influence upon Bush apparently due to a fanatical commitment to Zionism that is at issue. The following essay represents, in my opinion, the accurate and detailed plan of the present Zionist regime (of Sharon and Eitan) for the Middle East which is based on the division of the whole area into small states, and the dissolution of all the existing Arab states. I will comment on the military aspect of this plan in a concluding note. Here I want to draw the attention of the readers to several important points: 1. The idea that all the Arab states should be broken down, by Israel, into small units, occurs again and again in Israeli strategic thinking. For example, Ze'ev Schiff, the military correspondent of Ha'aretz (and probably the most knowledgeable in Israel, on this topic) writes about the "best" that can happen for Israeli interests in Iraq: "The dissolution of Iraq into a Shi'ite state, a Sunni state and the separation of the Kurdish part" (Ha'aretz 6/2/1982). Actually, this aspect of the plan is very old. 2. The strong connection with Neo-Conservative thought in the USA is very prominent, especially in the author's notes. But, while lip service is paid to the idea of the "defense of the West" from Soviet power, the real aim of the author, and of the present Israeli establishment is clear: To make an Imperial Israel into a world power. In other words, the aim of Sharon is to deceive the Americans after he has deceived all the rest.geocities.com NOTE: American Neo-Conservatives run the American Enterprise Institute where President George Bush gave his February 26, 2003 "War on Iraq" speech with all its lying nonsense about how the goal is liberation of the Iraqi people and democracy in the Middle East. He clearly stated how proud he is that 20 members of this Zionist dominated "think tank" are part of his administration's top planners. Graphic QUOTE from guess what?
