Israel, Iraq and the US
by EDWARD SAID

. . . Israeli journalist Alex Fishman, in Yediot Aharanot of 6
September, describes the "revolutionary ideas" of Condoleeza Rice,
Rumsfeld (who now also refers to "so-called occupied territories"),
Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith and Richard Perle (who
commissioned the notorious Rand study designating Saudi Arabia as the
enemy and Egypt as the prize for America in the Arab world) as being
terrifyingly hawkish because they advocate regime change in every
Arab country. Fishman quotes Sharon as saying that this group, many
of them members of JINSA and CCP, and connected to the AIPAC
affiliate the Washington Institute of Near East Affairs, dominates
Bush's thinking (if that's the right word for it); he says, "next to
our American friends Effi Eitam [one of the Israeli cabinet's most
remorseless hard-liners] is a total dove." . . .
