...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

On the other hand, Mormons:

Some critics have suggested that influential Jewish advisers and groups pushed the Bush administration to go to war with Iraq in order to help Israel. The Bush administration and leaders of the Jewish community have strongly rejected those suggestions. These data show that the average American Jew - even those who are Republicans and may support the Bush administration on other matters - opposes the war.
The widespread Jewish opposition to the war in Iraq is not a recent development as the majority of all Americans have come to oppose the war in the past two years.

"...have strongly rejected those suggestions..."
The Bush Administration is a pack of lying dogs, so that doesn't count. The leaders of the Jewish community are no doubt beginning to be mighty worried about the awakening realization in the American public that they've been had, lied to and manipulated, and as that awareness comes up the obvious next question is who did it and why. Oil and Israel seem to have the most weight as motive. Though what passses for the long haul in the oil business wouldn't have carried those opportunists this far on a high-stakes bet.
Most Americans don't know why revenge against Babylon would figure high on a get-even for Jews/Israelis, most Americans don't even know that Iraq is Babylon. The looting and desecration of the treasures of Nimrod, back there at the start of the festivities, has a special significance that went right by most of the few people who consciously read about it. And as long as Walt/Mearsheimer's still off the table, all the graphs in the world aren't going to do much good. Iraq was sold to the people through George Bush and FOXNews and CNN and the other big media outlets. The ownership of all of them but Bush is easily traced.
