Hawkmoon,
Thanks for posting an article from someone with a clear understanding of the situation. Hopefully the recent world wide Muslim responce to the Danish cartoons will help liberals around the world understand that their freedom is in jeopardy and that the free world must take pre emptive action against Iran if they continue to pursue nuclear weapons.

The man in charge of hoodwinking the Western powers about Iran's now 18-year-old secret nuclear program believes the apocalypse will happen in his own lifetime. He'll be 50 in October.

As do tens of millions of American voters, and AFAIK are own President.

This issue is one of the most lopsided ones for coverage in the MSM. We castigate Muslim eschatology while ignoring our own. IMO, one of the most compelling reasons I would pursue Nukes if a Muslim myself, is that the most powerful Nuke arsenal on the planet is controlled by a country who’s most active (and ascendant) religious group believes that the ME in the near future is the sight of the final cataclysm between good & evil, with Jews and Christians being the good guys. You do the math.

The day an American President publicly chastises conservative Christians for their eschatology is the day when we will start the road to peace in the ME. But I suspect that day is generations from now, if not centuries.
