Why the Neocons Want to Go to War with Iran? http://www.worldhistoryplus.com/i/ismailites.html http://www.amaana.org/heroes/note010.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Lewis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_P._Huntington http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clash_of_Civilizations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clash_of_Civilizations#Huntington.27s_The_Clash_of_Civilizations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Fukuyama If one follows the sequence of websites above, one will discover a history of a sub sect of medieval Islamic terrorism which has fascinated such contemporaries as Bernard Lewis and Samuel P. Huntington and encouraged the wars that we have been drawn into by the neocons against Afghanistan and Iraq. Francis Fukuyama, once a neocon himself, has broken with this compulsion to replay the ancient crusades and has become a critic of the Iraq folly. Presumably if recent reports are to be believed, a May 23 directive from Bush to Olmert was to attack both Syria and Lebanon in preparation for a war on Iran. Olmert apparently demurred from the Syrian half of this deal. What will follow? A new drive by Bush while in office to carry out this program -- or a restoration of peace?
