Check out this piece by Jim Lobe (current recipient of my annual I.F Stone award for courageous reporting).
Lobe has it exactly right. (Take a look at this AIPAC-drafted Senate letter, designed to show that, flotilla or no flotilla, AIPAC owns the Senate including your favorite liberals).
The whole world may have been appalled by the Gaza flotilla debacle (including the President of the United States). But Congress (led by liberal Democrats who constitute the heart and muscle of the Israel-is-always-right caucus) has barely noticed. On the contrary, the antiwar, anti-Iraq, anti-Afghan war types led the cheering for the Israeli attack.
Lobe explains why. You won't be surprised
Also, influential Washington/Jerusalem insider calls for bombing Iran's civilian infrastructure.
