they have become increasingly fearful of a backlash if the war goes badly.

The only people slamming the Jews currently is the global Left, not the right.

What a bunch of cr-p this is, that the Jews are causing the Iraq war. When Clinton swung the 7th fleet into the Taiwan Strait to send a message to China after they conducted some fairly agressive war games, did "Taiwanese Americans" catch heat for it? We will go to war with China, which has nukes, over Taiwan. Is that the fault of the "insidious Taiwanese lobby?"

Although my Taiwanese friends certainly were in favor of Clinton's actions, I don't remember seeing Taiwanese-Americans front and center as media talking heads, or as opinion writers, lobby non-stop for the actions taken in the situation you've chosen as an analogy.

I get the point you're attempting to make, but IMHO you should find a better comparative group for your example.

My, but this is so confusing. One day we read that a cabal of Jews is pushing for the war, and the next we read that Jews are not pushing for war, for a fear of a backlash.

The bottom line is there is always a gang of idiots ready to make any issue about "the Jews," from one perspective or another.

There's the problem. In America, the majority of the Jewish vote goes to left wingers. But the left wing in America now has a lot of Jew haters. What to do?

Jewish anti-war left wingers were very active protestors during the Viet Nam anti-war demonstrations. Here's another war, and the left wing Jews are waffling. There's nothing like the fun of a self-righteous anti-war protest, but how can they march with Jew hating protestors?

The left wing isn't what it used to be. It's not fun for left wing Jews to be left out in the cold. Something must change.

That depends on your perspective. There are many, from Pat to Sobran to Duke who would describe themselves as voices of the "right", the true conservatives (whatever that means).
