James > For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle

That's what they told Paul Wolfowitz on his barmitzvah --- and he believed it. So much so, when he subsequently had psychotherapy for schizophrenia, he told them that he was the eagle --- and then he attempted to fly all around the room.

As far as the Koran is concerned, that's an urban legend which apparently appeared first on the internet on February 14, 2003.

> America is always represented as the Eagle.

Very soon to be changed as the eagle is extinct. The vulture is now regarded as the appropriate symbol.
