I can't help but wonder if this is subtly Anti-jewish in that Israel will benifit from us cleaning up the neighborhood. maybe I'm wrong but I do wonder if these Europeans are all reflexively ANTI- anything that might benifit Israel.

Excuse me? If this degenerates into a mid-eastern conflagration, or Saddam lobs missiles at Israel - Israel will "benefit"?

You sound like Buchanan who says we're fighting this war for Israel. Bush hasn't said that. One can favor containment of Iraq without being an antisemite, just as one can favor containment of North Korea (as opposed to invasion) without being racist against, say, the Japanese (ie neighbors who might gaine if North Korea were liberated).
