Why separate the USG's action toward Iraq from its actions toward 
Colombia, Korea, the Philippines, Venezuela, Yugoslavia, etc.? 
Compartmentalizing the war on Iraq from all else (in the past and 
present) only helps anti-Semites and pro-Zionists (both of whom 
overestimate the importance of Israel) by encouraging conspiracy 
theories.  It doesn't help new anti-war activists acquire a broader 
historical consciousness either.
