When there are billions of dollars involved, and as importantly, a major government policy to be set, you can be sure that it is large powerful forces rather than "some individuals" who are involved in the scheme. As for Perle, Feith, and co, I tend to agree with you. The best that one can say about them is that they see the interests of Israel and US as one and the same. However, for the same reason that courts routinely do not allow the same lawyer to defend two parties whose interests might conflict, people like Feith should never be part of official policy making apparatus. "Clean Break" is not the only argument for how such tight binding between the US and Israel is not in Israel's best interest. At the other end of political spectrum, Stephen Zunes has made the same argument by pointing out that from Suharto to Shah, history has not been kind to anyone who has toed the US line too closely.
