<<met with the popular author of a best-selling book that claims that God requires a war with Iran demonstrates just how intensely politics trumps policy (and human lives) for this unhinged administration.>> Type the words gog magog and iran into Google search and you will get 71,000 returns!!!
Browse into these sites and you will see how huge this BS is being promulgated across the internet , it is a classic case of self-fulfilling prophecy.

As you know i can get pretty esoteric and rap about the power of archetypal embedding in the human mind such that it becomes a force far far stronger than reasonable men can grasp.
i will spare all with my Jungian Based ramblings.
But let's just say the "Gog and Magog" theme is embedded in the mind of many millions in the U.S. that believe absolutely Gog/Magog are in fact Iraq and Iran. And thy have absolutely belief that Iran will attack the West with Nuclear Bombs.
And no amount of argument will change them, this is a HUGE CULT.
Numbers go as high as 40million americans take this as the revelation of G-d, that Iran is the destroyer; and thus must be destroyed.
So those think tanks that go into all their scenarios EXCLUDE this, as it is innocuous, this; so they think.
They don't factor it in.
Their mistake.

**********************************************************
i will repeat my refrain of those that think history is rational haven't studied history.

We have a fair amount of indications that beneath all the blitherings GWB gives for his actions their remains within him the belief that Iraq and Iran are Gog and Magog and he is about doing G-d's Will. Max
p.s. How easy it is for Americans to LAUGH OFF something serious.
o won't even repeat what went down between Russert and Bush on the issue of who his father is, let's just say the signs have been there for several years.
i am about 3.5 years later getting some company.
Cripes all my rants are the same as 3 years ago:)
i should save typing and just dig up my old posts from the Foreign Correspondent thread on iHub---o my!!!LOl!
