Pushing for a Wider War. The Fox News Channel today asserted that Saudi Arabia and several other Gulf states are embarking upon nuclear programs which, altho announced to be peaceful, Fox implies, are really intended to produce weapons. The discussion among the host and three guests suggested that the Gulf states are reacting to worries about Iran's nuclear program, and the U.S., to control the situation, has to take an extremely active role in ending Iran's nuclear activities.

There is, however, a broader suggestion still than the war against Iran that the neocons and Radical Zionists have been pushing for, for well over a year. Now we are to start thinking that it might be necessary to go to war against all the Arab states of the region, to keep Israel safe. Of course, the pretense will be that we, at home, are in danger if that region goes nuclear, even tho there are no ballistic missiles or other means by which Arab nukes could get anywhere near us. No, the inferences Americans are to draw are at least twofold: (1) an attack upon Israel IS an attack upon the United States; and (2) the mere existence of nuclear weapons anywhere in the Arab world is a threat to our own soil (whether Arabs have any way of attacking us, 6,000 miles away, or not).

No, an attack upon Israel is not an attack upon the United States. It is an attack upon Israel, an utterly and absolutely foreign country with which we share essentially nothing. And no, the presence of nuclear weapons in Arabia is not an automatic threat to us. We must not buy into Radical Zionist lies and embark upon World War III for Israel. If the choice is WWIII or the end of Israel, we MUST choose the end of Israel. For me, that's not a hard choice at all.

(The current U.S. military death toll in Iraq, according to the website "Iraq Coalition Casualties", is 2,932 — for Israel.)
