http://www.israelnationalnews.com/poll_results.php3?poll_id=155 Is this also the will of the majority of the american people? Is this in American intrest? What do you think? Should the US target Iran, Syria & Hezbollah following the war against Iraq?
Sometimes it's as if Israelis would find it most desireable for the United States to carry out the "Final Solution" on all Mideastern opponents of Israel, beginning with the Palestinians - and pay for it both monetarily and in terms of the repercussions. Israelis should be more careful in their expressions - Israel has so much to learn as a nation in terms of diplomacy. When they realize they can't hide under America's skirt anymore (as the skirt becomes tatters, and the Lady Liberty retreats home) I hope they learn fast.

Even though I question that poll's validity, I have to say that only strengthens my argument about the advantage of low voting turnouts Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!.
Well, 92% out of 2600 individuals are in favor for the US to target Iran, Syria & Hezbollah following the war against Iraq? That’s not really that bad if asked to a handful of rightwing extremist, I would have expected between 120% to 180%.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I wonder what that poll would show if the question were Israel to target Iran, Syria and the Hezbollah, probably 1% ? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Jhon Bolton On May 6, 2002 US Under Secretary of State John Bolton gave a speech entitled "Beyond the Axis of Evil". In it he added three more nations to be grouped with the already mentioned "rogue states": Libya, Syria, and Cuba. The criteria for membership of this group was: "state sponsors of terrorism that are pursuing or who have the potential to pursue weapons of mass destruction (WMD) or have the capability to do so in violation of their treaty obligations". The speech was widely reported as an expansion of the original Axis of Evil. The allegation of Cuban WMD capability was particularly strenuously denied by the Cuban government, and disputed by former president Jimmy Carter who visited the country a week later after being briefed by US officials.
