 verge of possessing nuclear armaments to be used to wipe Israel off the 
 map. The fact that Americans are such saps for propaganda makes effective 
 opposition to the neoconsevatives' plan for WW IV practically impossible. 
  
 Large percentages of Americans still believe that Saddam Hussein was 
 responsible for the 9/11 attack. Recent polls show that 32% still believe 
 that Iraq gave substantial support to al-Qaeda, and 18% believe that Saddam 
 Hussein was directly involved in the 9/11 attack. WXIA-TV in Atlanta posted 
 viewers comments about Hussein's execution on its web site. Atlantan Janet 
 Wesselhoft was confident that Saddam Hussein is "the one who started 
 terrorism in this country, he needs to be put to rest." 
  
 Even the London Times is in the grip of Israeli propaganda. In its report 
 of Israel's plan to attack Iran with nuclear weapons, the Times says that 
 Iranian president "Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has declared that 'Israel must be 
 wiped off the map.'" It has been shown by a number of credible experts that 
 this quote is a made-up concoction taken completely out of context. 
 Ahmadinejad said no such thing. 
  
 In a world ruled by propaganda, lies become truths. The power of the Israel 
 Lobby is so great that it has turned former President Jimmy Carter, 
 probably the most decent man ever to occupy the Oval Office and certainly 
 the president who did the most in behalf of peace in the Middle East, into 
 an anti-semite, an enemy of Israel. The American media, from its 
 "conservative" end to its "liberal" end did its best to turn Carter into a 
 pariah for telling a few truths about Israel's mistreatment of the 
 Palestinians in his book, Palestine Peace Not Apartheid. 
  
 If truth be known, there is nothing to stop the Israeli/neoconservative 
 cabal from widening the war in the Middle East. 
  
 As I previously reported, the neoconservatives believe that the use of 
 nuclear weapons against Iran would force Muslims to realize that they have 
 no recourse but to submit to the Isreali/US will. The use of nuclear 
 weapons is being rationalized as necessary to destroy Iran's underground 
 facilities, but the real purpose is to terrorize Islam and to bring it to 
 heel. 
  
 Until the US finds the courage to acquire a Middle East policy of its own, 
 Americans will continue to reap the evil sowed by the Israel Lobby.
