Another interesting tact (and honestly, one of the better reasoned of your posts in quite a while).
But putting everyone in the same boat here is dangerous. There are people who are anti-Israel because they are anti-Semites. Then there are people who are all in favor of a Jewish homeland, but who feel a little bit of sympathy for the Palistinian farmer who wakes up one morning to find his fields being bulldozed in prep for the latest Jewish subdivision, and who might understand (not condone by any means, but understand) how that might eventually give rise to enough hate to spawn terrorism.
But they're all red herrings. Israel is a red herring for Iraq. Iraq is a red herring for terrorism.
Let's be clear here (and I know that the two sides of the board simply have to agree to disagree here): what pisses us off about Bush going into Iraq isn't him going into Iraq, it's that he did so instead of actually attempting to solve the critical problem at hand, and worse, completely unprepared to deal with the situation that
predictably developed.
