  Depends what effect you infer Wolfowitz as implying. The most obvious, and 
most likely in context, was not how "well" it killed people but how well it 
caused Iraq's regime to change its behavior. In that case, it was not 
effective.

  No, not if Israel was our enemy (and it would have to be for us to do that).

  Let's just say a lot of this stuff often comes across not as help the poor 
Arabs but "look at what those Jews are doing." I'm not saying you are a 
racist, it just seems like you, or perhaps more correctly, these reports, 
often seem pro-Arab at the cost of being anti-Semetic. Taking a radical 
Jewish rabbi's comment and attaching it to Wolfowitz saying sactions on Iraq 
were not effective (in light of the fact that they killed a million Arabs -- 
allegedly). Why bring up this rabbi at all if you do not wish to cast Jews in 
a negative light?
