On April 2, 2003 The Wall Street Journal reported that "in the U.S., the war has heightened rhetoric. Last month, Rep. James Moran (D., Va.) said in a public forum that Jews were leading the U.S. into war with Iraq. This was despite polls showing that just 52% of American Jews favored military action, compared with 62% for Americans overall. 'If the war in Iraq goes wrong,' asks Mr. Michel rhetorically, 'whose fault will it be?' For Jewish and non-Jewish Americans alike, there are warnings here. Both anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism are driven by a fear of democracy and modernity, by a need to find an explanation for 'what's wrong,' says Ruth Wisse, a Harvard professor now writing a book on 'Jews and anti-Jews.'"
