Although it is generally understood that American neoconservatives
pushed hard for the war in Iraq, this book forcefully argues that
the neocons' goal was not the spread of democracy, but the
protection of Israel's interests in the Middle East. Showing that
the neocon movement has always identified closely with the
interests of Israel's Likudnik right wing, the discussion contends
that neocon advice on Iraq was the exact opposite of conventional
United States foreign policy, which has always sought to maintain
stability in the region to promote the flow of oil. Various players
in the rush to war are assessed according to their motives,
including President Bush, Ariel Sharon, members of the
foreign-policy establishment, and the American people, who are seen
not as having been dragged into war against their will, but as
ready after 9/11 for retaliation.
