Why Iraq? Part 1

In the March 24, 2003 issue of "The American Conservative," the lead article by Patrick J. Buchanan is entitled "Whose War? A neoconservative clique seeks to ensnare our country in a series of wars that are not in America's interest." Buchanan writes, "What these neoconservatives seek is to conscript American blood to make the world safe for Israel." "We charge them with deliberately damaging U.S. relations with every state in the Arab world that defies Israel or supports the Palestinian people's right to a homeland of their own." Although no threat to the U.S., Saddam Hussein, like all other Muslim leaders, did support the Palestinian people's rights.
