Many skeptics believe the looming war on Iraq is about oil, but there's much more to it than that. Religious fanatics inside the US and Israel believe Israel has a Divine Right to vast tracts of land in the Middle East. The fanatics call this land "Eretz Yisrael." It includes Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and the Sinai. They say God promised this land to Israel in Numbers 34, Genesis 15:18, Joshua 13, II Samuel 8:5-6. For more information on the influence of these fanatics on the U.S. government, see interview with State Department official Edwin M. Wright at:
