quote from Simon Wiesenthal site:
ANTISEMITISM: Originally based on religious hatred, modern anti-Semitism has come to mean any hatred or opposition to the Jews. It has been used to blame Jews for economic, religious and political problems. Stressing "racial" ideas, Nazi Germany had no place for Jews and its anti-Semitic ideology led to the "Final Solution".
End of quote
New Adaptation:
ANTI-IRAQISM: Originally based on religious hatred, modern anti-Iraqism has come to mean any hatred or opposition to the Iraquis. It has been used to blame Iraquis for economic, religious and political problems. Stressing "racial" ideas, Bush US had no place for Iraquis and its anti-Iraquism ideology led to the "Final Gulf War".
End of new adaptation....
Needless to say that it has saved Bush ass ( and balls if you wish), because economic and political situation in the US is bad!
Now, the american people have the firm beleive that all the problems are due to the " evil-doers ". Once gone, and still the problems, what's next?
