If Judeofascist freaks like DeLay and gang keep pulling the strings of US foreign policy then... WWIII might be just around the corner.

The US Congress is obviously not bothered by war crimes, as long as they are committed by American forces or those of Washington's allies. In any event, they are a necessary component of a strategy whose ultimate goal is to "cleanse" the occupied territories of Arabs and make them part of a Greater Israel. This is the logic of Sharon's policies, and the explicit program of much of the Christian right, which exercises enormous influence over the Republican Party and the Bush administration.
Only days before the passage of the congressional resolutions, DeLay, an evangelist partisan of the Christian right, declared that the West Bank, which he called Judean Samaria, belonged by Biblical dispensation to Israel and should be incorporated into the Israeli state. On May 1, his fellow Texan, House Republican Leader Dick Armey, acknowledged on the CNBC television program, Hardball with Chris Matthews, that he favored Israeli annexation of the West Bank and the expulsion of its Palestinian inhabitants.
"I'm content to have Israel grab the entire West Bank," Armey said, adding that he believed "the Palestinians should leave."
The congressional resolutions underscored a political phenomenon of major significance-the increasingly open alliance of Israel and its American Zionist supporters with the Christian fundamentalist right. This alliance is pregnant with a morbid irony-the well-known anti-Semitic propensities of the fascistic milieu that spans Christian fundamentalist groups, white supremacist organizations and militia outfits, all of which have close ties to the right wing of the Republican Party.
Only last month, DeLay, speaking to a group of evangelical Christians in Pearland, Texas, declared, "Christianity is the only way." The point man for the extreme right in Congress went on to say he was God's instrument for promoting a "biblical world view" in American politics.
The Zionist-Christian right nexus embodies the deeply reactionary role played by the Israeli state, not only in the Middle East, but internationally. Another recent demonstration of its emergence is a half-page ad placed in the May 2 New York Times by the Anti-Defamation League. The ad consists of an article, published without comment, by Ralph Reed, a leading figure in the Christian right and current chairman of the Georgia Republican Party. The article is entitled "We People of Faith Stand Firmly With Israel."
