Reply #132: No, America and its allies were quite able to proceed on our lonesome

[LeftishBrit]

No need to scapegoat anyone else. Whether Israel, Iran or 'a (paranoid nightmare of a) genocidal axis of .... Venezuela and North Korea'.

Polls show that Israeli opinion in fact was deeply divided, and many thought that invading Iraq would be a very bad idea.

Once the invasion happened, Israel supported it. Israel has rarely opposed any American foreign policy; despite some xenophobic-isolationist grumbling, it knows where its bread is buttered, and doesn't want to offend one of its few strong allies. But that doesn't mean that Israel is responsible for the invasion! Sadly, we (the UK) have far more culpability there.
