it really does seem odd to me to have a Religious Crusader running major military forces in the 21st century.

ODD???

Have you ever looked at the men running the extreme Muslim militant terrorist groups.

Comparing his supernatural idol to the bad guys' supernatural idol seems quite loopy to me

That's because you are an Atheist living in a very secular society. The Military has always been a bastion of conservatism and Religion. They deal in death, and use the Church to justify and solace themselves. If you were in that business, you might too.

I was needling you, of course, about the UN running the Internet. The article was so typical. Africa wants Europe and America to pay for there Internet connections. They want broadband connections to the porn. And Political censorship of anything said about them.

I just shake my head when you go into one of your UN rants. Why you think the Kiwis or anybody else would do a better job of running the world than they do of their country is beyond me. All we are trying to do here is make the world safe for us. If they hadn't attacked us, we would have been happy to let the Muslim world go to hell in a handbasket.
