This concise and clearly argued book makes the case that Israel's desire to be the sole regional power in the Middle East neatly chimed with Bush's objectives in the "war on terror". Examining a host of related issues, from the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians to the role of Big Oil and the demonisation of the Arab world, Cook argues that the current chaos in the Middle East is the objective of the Bush administration - a policy that is equally beneficial to Israel. 606 $aIraq War, 2003-2011 607 $aMiddle East$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zMiddle East 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zIsrael 607 $aIsrael$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aIsrael$xForeign relations$zArab countries 607 $aArab countries$xForeign relations$zIsrael 607 $aMiddle East$xPolitics and government$y1979- 607 $aIsrael$xPolitics and government$y1993- 607 $aIraq$xPolitics and government$y2003- 607 $aIran$xPolitics and government$y1997- 615 0$aIraq War, 2003-2011. 676 $a327.56073 700 $aCook$b Jonathan$f1965-$01512561 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782654103321 996 $aIsrael and the clash of civilisations$93857757 997 $aUNINA
