Gus > And the irony here will be that the most frustrated Americans looking for scapegoats will very likely be... the Evangelicals! That is, the very people who used to be so fanatically "fond" of God's Chosen People will turn against their object of praise That's the irony and the expression is well established, even in English -- "when thieves fall out" -- and that's what will happen when the Evangelists fall out with the Zionists. Indeed, both are thieves, and not only for Palestinian land or, more recently, Iraqi oil but for the very religions they claim they represent. The Evangelists stole Christianity from the mainstream Christian religions and the Zionists stole the Jewish religion from the Jews. And I have an even further gripe -- that all religions are, in fact, thieves in that each one claims to be the exclusive representative of God or the Almighty when, in actual fact, God, or what people believe is God, is within every one of us and accessible in everyone's imagination. If people want to believe in a "Higher Being" a "Creator", call it what you will, that "Being" is present universally and it is not necessary for anyone to have to accept all the religious baggage and clap-trap in order to find or to worship "Him". BTW, those seem like excellent books which you recommended -- the kind of stuff we talk about all the time.
