Ruff, Ariel was jumping up and down for the US to go after Iraq. It was mentioned in the Jerusalem Post at the time something about Ariel having to be toned down because it was too obvious. Anyone who says that Israel didn't want US to go after Iraq is either a liar or has had their head in the sand. Now whether it was a good or bad thing is a different matter. but Israel most definitely wanted the US to take out Iraq. After all , wasn't Iraq supplying Palestinian "terrorists" with money?

Ah yes, Prof. rrufff, again my "logic" or "language" was no good, eh? Luckily, I'm not alone, all other pro-peace posters in SI have got the same problem (the Pro-war people got no such problem) by your standard. Exactly where my "logic" or "language" problem that caused a big misunderstanding? Did You mean your word "I don't defend that(the WMDs story). Personally, I think it's good that Saddam was toppled..." actually meant the same thing as "I did condemn the WMDs lie."? Or you mean even though WMDs was a lie but it was not a big lie? Even though you don't defend it, you should not condemn it? And you meant Israelis did not push America to 'liberate' Iraq, and I was wrong to say so? Or …? Your clarification for the "logic" will be greatly appreciated. (Your original words: I don't defend that. Unlike you, I don't take a party line. Personally, I think it's good that Saddam was toppled. However, the incompetence and inefficiency in how it was handled will probably hurt us in the war against terror. And my answer: So the WMDs big lie should not be condemned either!? Because Israel wanted the Americans to liberate the Iraqis, or?) Have a nice (not bigoted) night, my friend rrufff.
