Defense budget and its use is (sadly) the only
acceptable jobs program in the US. Obama would rather make holes in someone elses country because he knows the Republicans won't let him fill holes in his own. Better that than have a few hundred thousand ex-soldiers added to the unemployment rolls.
“Since the US is in fact withdrawing from Iraq, and will be mostly out by next year this time, we may conclude that the Israeli leadership is very nervous about Tel Aviv – Baghdad relations. ” Not clear to me who in Tel Aviv the Israeli leadership is concerned about.

lunatics are as American as apple pie. PNAC was a strategic blunder China's passing the US in this century and instead hastened
it by decades, a double-down of catastrophic proportions. That some are also supporters of Israels right-wing (which doesn't particularly match a left-wing Israelis definition of "Zionist") does not absolve them of being an American jingoist phenomena.

More generally, it all has to do with patriarcal societies treatment of women as property. Supposedly, there are even states where a women can't be out and about without being in the company of a male relative!
