<<<One thing I've learned out of the last couple of years is that you can not overestimate the influence of the clerics. The influence they have is something the western mind can not appreciate.>>> And what so we have to counter that? Billy Graham and Jim Baker, the three Smith Brothers. We also lack holy places but these could be identified by government proclamation. Places with lots of tourist worshippers that would be off limits to terrorists. Disneyland, Las Vegas, Florida have potential. Perhaps Elvis's birthplace. Places we can store ammo and missiles and provide a safe haven for past Presidents so they do not have to face war crimes tribunals. We would need some stories to go along with that, a few miracles. Some old stone tablets in a strange lost language. It wont be easy tho, parting the Red Sea is tough story to beat. Sig
