you'll still blame Iran for her destruction when it actually those who 'supported' Israel.
These Christian Zionists - Pat Robertson, Billy Graham and son, Jerry Falwell - all believe that Jews must convert or die before the Messiah returns. And you believe them to be harmless? Have you been paying attention? They watched people drown in New Orleans and NONE of these 'men of God' came forth and used their influence to persuade Bush to give a damn. After 911, they blamed feminists and the ACLU for the terrorist attacks? Say what?? And Pat Robertson pretty much said that Sharon got what he deserved for trading land for peace - and now he prays with Olmert. And you call these people harmless? I'm not going any further with this.
You need to check yourself out of denial and lower the volume of whatever hatred you have that's blinding you to the real threat.
Early Jewist Zionists ignored the rabbis who believe it was a sin to force Israel's creation after God turned them out of her centuries ago. What makes you think Christian Zionists will leave their own prophecies in God's hand?
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world She didn't exist.

Or so called Christian who advocates hatred for any other human, it is simply not Christian.
Any one who takes the bibles teaching into their hands and uses it to perpetrate any kind of hatred, quite simply has not read the Bible at all.
I dont hate the nutcase in Iran, I fear his fanaticism,and hate his intollerance, I'm not going to compare who is more Evil than who when it comes to religion.
But suffice to say that if, and this is an if, every Christian followed Jesus teaching to the letter, there would be no war or hatred were it up to a Christian.
I just cannot say the same for the other major denomination.
I dont see too many Chrsitian Zionists waging terroism at the moment, can you point me in the right direction?
What I do see, is a pattern from Asia to the Middle east into Africa, of another religion taking up arms for the same cause, and it seems like it's growing in pace.......
I don't see a similar pattern with fanatical Christians, possibly isolated pockets in the US somewhere, so how does this compare?
Yes whatever you say...the revolution is..that way...>>

the average everyday fanatics. The danger comes from those who represent them. It's the difference between immediate vs. enduring dangers, short term vs. long term. And today, they influence the most powerful man on the globe and have been doing so disastrously for quite some time. They are not considering what's best for Jews and Arabs in the ME. They want to fulfill their prophecies as well and will force it into being if they have to and it looks like they're doing a damn good job of it. And it doesn't undermine the 'creative chaos' theory either.
If Syria and Iran falls, what do you think will happen? How much will Israel compromise for continued U.S. support under an admnistration influenced by these people who belive the ME is to be on fire before the return of the Messiah? How hot is over there now?

From what I see Bush is moved more on "his" principles rather than some Messianic prophecy fulfiller.
He keeps repeating the "spread freedom and democracy" line, but I haven't heard him say that he wants to "spread Christianity et al".
Granted Bush is a more "out there" with his beliefs, but you can't damn the guy because he has strong convictions.
I realy don't take too much of the imference that he is some apocalyptic visionarie.....I think he has his feet on earth most of the time.
The brand of Christianity that Bush belongs to dosen't believe that the ME should be burned into a cinder for the Messiah and for Israel to prosper for ever after....

Bush claims God told him to invade Afghanistan and Iraq
"President Bush said to all of us: 'I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, "George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan." And I did, and then God would tell me, "George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq ..." And I did. And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, "Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East." And by God I'm gonna do it.'"
Bush says God chose him to lead nation
Bush said to James Robinson: 'I feel like God wants me to run for President. I can't explain it, but I sense my country is going to need me. Something is going to happen... I know it won't be easy on me or my family, but God wants me to do it.'
OEF/OIF vet I've been called a left-wing extremist because I absolutely oppose torture. I can live with that.
