This is disgusting. Bush (and 140,000 American soldiers, 900+dead), saved the Israeli Army from a "death march" across Jordan and Iraq to Baghdad in an effort to stop Husseins money funding suicide bombers. The only other alternative was to "Nuke" Baghdad, but Damascus, Cairo, Riyadh and Tehran, would have to follow.... This is an ugly and insensitive question, but: Did German Jews vote, overwhelmingly, for Hitler in 1932? I hope not, but sometimes I have to wonder.

Do you write for Al Jezeera or just get your news there?

If that's why GWB went to war, I'll not only vote for Kerry but support his impeachment.

No! And I don't intimidate, either.

Except that 75% of U.S. Jews favor Kerry.

You forgot, conveniently, the subject of my admittedly gritty post. But I stand by what I wrote. Most "groups", Muslim, Buddhist, Christian, Irish, Mexican and lest we forget, the French, are their own worst enemy. I see no reason to exclude American Jews, when they are bent on ignoring their own self interest {*}.

Did Bush fight an ersatz war against Iraq for Israel? I think so. As well as cleaning up the neighborhood that needed a cleaning. No other country, at no other time and no other president had the resources, inclination and the moral duty to do so. Bush did and he took it. Like it or not!

So, you go ahead and vote for "Lord Jim" Kerry and impeach Bush. But there will be no "shalom" in the near or far future. For the West or the Middle East.
