A Dialog about Anti-Semitism and the Fate of the State of Israelq Rabid anti-Semitism, coupled with inane and outlandish conspiracy theories of world dominion, is easy to counter and dispel. It is the more "reasoned", subtle, and stealthy variety that it pernicious. "No smoke without fire," - say people - "there must be something to it!". America's Second Civil War Ironically, the much-heralded conflict took place not between the USA and its enemies without - but within the United States, in a second and devastating Civil War. Add Me to the List, Mr. Blair The terrorists are winning.
