"The war in Iraqwas conceived by 25
neoconservative intellectuals,
most of them Jewish,
who are pushing President Bush
to change the course of history. "
From AntiWar.com
A cruel and futile conflict rages in Iraq, and we all know who was behind it. The neoconservatives have been on a global rampage since 9/11, but theirs was not an overnight success: their march from obscurity to the Pentagon and the White House took decades – and plenty of cash. After patiently infiltrating the core institutions of government and the intelligentsia, the neocons dominate both parties and thus the making of policy. Their network of think-tanks, magazines, newspapers, political action committees, and lobbyists now covers Washington, D.C., like a spider's web. Sadly, the Iraq disaster hasn't halted their plans for yet another war.
We warned our readers early on about this dangerous cult, and our grimmest prophecies have all come to pass. Antiwar.com has been on the neocons' case since 1995, when they were virtually unknown outside of academia. Without our constant efforts to shine a light on their agenda, they might still be in the darkness where they thrive.
We don't have the neocons' fat wallets and friends in high places, but we do have the global reach of the World Wide Web. They have Rupert Murdoch and other billionaires – not to mention your tax dollars – at their disposal. We have only your voluntary contributions.
