1-It helps Israel (IMO, problematical, since a multitude of other actions GWB didn't take would have helped Israel more) and
2-There are Jew's in the administration, thus guilt is established.
It's curious that in noting Hoffman's four groups of influence, he notes only the fourth. IMO, Pat would qualify for number 3, admitadly less important than 1 and 2. But 4 runs the show. No matter what Pat says, American Fundamentalists, I kind of like that! The world would be a better place with more of them.
A third and less important group sees in everything a contest between America's traditional political and religious values and all who attack them, be they secular and dissolute liberals or Islamic terrorists. This group I call the American fundamentalists.
