The possible motives for the US invading and occupying Iraq, the popular ones, all mean it was a failed enterprise. The country is unstable, the economy's ruined, the people are no more secure from anxiety than they were.
Thousands of Iraqis have died, hundreds of Americans have died, and more die every day. Saddam is gone, but many of his higher echelons are being placed in positions of power, and the political structure the vacating proxy government leaves in its wake is filled with corrupt actors.
There is one goal, though, that could be seen as successfully accomplished. The obvious one, that this is what was intended. A broken nation, a fragmented people, a captive economy.
The United States is in much worse condition than it was before the start of the invasion and occupation. Iraq is in far worse condition. There's only one country that has benefited, and it has benefited greatly, with little expense and virtually no sacrifice of its own resources.
Israel is creating an empire in the Middle East. This is every day more obvious.
Most Americans are still unaware that Paul Bremer is and was tightly connected to the state of Israel. It's as Admiral Anthony Zinni said it was, though what good it does to know that is getting harder to realize. It doesn't seem to matter what's real. The game is that by the time people do wake up it will be too late, America won't be in a position to do anything to stop what it was tricked blindly into helping make possible.
The linking of anti-Semitism with the historical persecutions of Jews as a people is understandable. The linking of anti-Semitic speech with the Holocaust is understandable. Linking the atrocities and inhuman degradations of Arab prisoners by the American military to the Holocaust should be understandable as well. That it isn't speaks directly to the sickness manifesting itself now, in the Middle East and in the world.
