Why do you say Zionist? What support do you have the brings you to say that? Untill I see some, I'm going to assume the Bush type leadership is just inferior when it comes to effective policy.
I agree fundamentally with the rest of what you say.
after a number of decades Zionists have stepped up and gained massive influence and power on the media which is a valubale tool for govermants. after 5,000's years of persecutions Jews have realised if they dont wise up and stick together they're doomed.
Zionists have huge pro-Israel lobbys and many Zionists donate heavaily to their chosen candidates. This makes the Jewish Zionist lobby very powerful but it is still not that large in numbers, but becasue they have paired up with right wing Christians (the whole Second coming thing etc) they are very powerful.
Also remeber why Israel was really created.
creating a state that was reliant on the west for its survival and followed its policies right in the Middle East, an area with 60% of the entire worlds oil and vital strategic locations was neseccary. Also Israel could be seen as a look out point in the Middle East to stop the expansion of communism in the area. There was wide spread guilt becasue people didnt think they did enough for the Jews and also politicainans didnt speak out against Israels formation, fearing they would be accused of being Nazis
ok i could go on for a long time but basically attacking Iraq keeps the Zionists lobby's happy, destroys Israels biggest enemy, allows Israeli commandos to enter Iraq, also - now we obviously know Iraq has no WMD or chemical weapons etc. buyt before the war we didn't and the thought of this being true would scare even us in Europe and America but it would scare the shit out of Israelis and make them paranoid if they thought Saddam really did have all of those weapons (and remeber Iraq launched 30 scud missiles into Israel in the Gulf War even though Israel was not taking part).
Although now it wont work out that way becasue of the insurgency etc. Iraq could of been used to attack Iran, another Israeli enemy. etc. etc.
obviously though, America isn't an Israeli ass licker that does whatever Israel wants, its just that Israeli and American interests meet together alot. one day though Israel will be a burden on America and America will have to stop its HUGE support to Israel.
