I'm waiting to see the so-called evidence Bush has that Iraq is a clear and present danger to the US and direct US interests.

You'll be waiting a long time,because such evidence doesn't exist. If it did,it would have already been "out there" in the public,and used to pound the war drums.

He could make a case that Iraq is planning on attacking Israel (assuming this were true and he could cough up some evidence to support such a claim),

This IS at least half of the reason so many people are behind Bubba-2 on this,especially Dims who are normally leftists,and who come from areas where the Jewish vote is a important factor. Israel wants us to take Saddam out for them,and the US congresscritters and Senators who represent Israel are pushing this.

The other half of the equation is "wag the dog",of course.

and I would say it is time to obliterate Iraq.

Then you are no better or moral than the rest of them. WHY should America waste her wealth and her blood to attack one soveriegn foreign nation,purely because another sovereign nations wants us to do that? Let Israel attack Iraq themselves,if it is all that important to them.

Because Israel is an ally. I don't know, but am reasonably certain, that we have some sort of mutual agression pact between ourselves in Israel. Also, we had the largest role in the creation of Israel. We have a certain amount of responsibility towards it.

Since this is the case, I feel it is our responsibility to help Israel as much as possible, provided that said help does not compromise our own condition. If we are not prepared to do this, then we should stop pretending we are allies with Israel, and treat them in a neutral manner in word and deed.
