I don't see this as a statement necessarily directed against Jews, and I think people are reading a lot of stuff between the lines that may not be there. But it is an emotive subject, so that is to be expected I guess. I don't agree with it necessarily, but until someone can put forward a cogent argument as to why Iraq was invaded, it is not surprising that people who suffered directly try to find some reason for their sons dying. And does she have a point about hatred of US Mid-East policy being behind 9/11? Be that anti-Semitic or otherwise, is there any truth in it? And is she entitled to have that opinion, and to express it? Andrew _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
