I am vehemently opposed to the war in Iraq because it had nothing to do with what is best for the American people. Everyone knows that oil companies and other corporations, especially defense contractors, were prime motivators in luring the nation into war. Often forgotten, and ignored by the mainstream media however, was the direct security benefit to.....Israel. We apparently are such good allies, we will fight wars just to make sure our allies are safe in their own neighborhoods, even if they started the whole fight.
Now we Americans bear the burden of this, in taxes and blood, while the world is nearly united against us in rightful outrage and anger. If we don't get out soon, there will surely only be more pain and sorrow to come. Somehow though, I don't think I can trust our politicians to do this.....

This kind of Anti-Zionism is always the product of lazy thinking and the last refuge of people who don't want to take responsibility for their own actions. So Israel was the reason for the Iraq invasion? How about you take responsibility for the actions of your elected government and leave the Israeli people out of it. By the way, how exactly has Israel benefited from the war? It would be hard to argue that the nation is safer as a result of the invasion. And if you did your research, you would find that Israelis were and continue to be just as divided in their opinion of the war as the citizens of any nation directly involved in the conflict.
