Dear NileMedia Reader: This article was written six months ago. At the time, the Israel Firsters were actively deflecting any possible connection between the attacks on the WTC and American policy in the region. The fact that they have suddenly turned on Bush like a pack of wild hyenas is sort of comic. What is their real agenda? Well, read this old column and you will have at least a partial answer. Please note that the figures for WTC casualties reflected the inflated number widely used at the time the article was written. Also be aware that since the article was written, William Safire has been honest enough to publicly boast that he is, in fact, working as a public relations man for Ariel Sharon.
