You have a reading comprehension problem.  The 98% in the context of
the paragraph is towards US perecetions of the ME conflict, not the
control of the US.  Actually, he is wrong on this one.  The zionist
view of the ME conflict is accepted by a majority in this country, but
the numbers are dropping.  The current war in Iraq is educating more
and more US citizens, that our blind support for Israel is the major
cause of unrest in the ME, at least from the perspective of US
national interest.
