Uncle, that was two totally separate issues. PNAC isn't to do with "Look out, there are Islamic Jihadists under the bed". It's to do with economic and political hegemony in the 21st century.

I notice I got my arithmetic wrong - it's about 5% American and 95% other people, not 96% other people.

I have been well-aware all my life than religious people are dangerous to me. Not just the Islamic Jihad version either.

My mother was President of nzarh.org.nz a few decades ago. I should probably renew my membership and gear up a defence of New Zealand against the virulent form of superstition represented by Islam and the lethal danger of Islamic Jihad. But there is a fair bit of publicity already, so people are at least partly aware of the danger, though they don't understand how the murderous ideas are built into the ideology. It's not just a few extremists.

Christians started out pacifist. But they became witch-burning, heresy trial Inquisitionists. Now they are back to a bit more peaceful but King George II has not gone back to Christian pacifist roots.

It's quite ironic how Christians had their founder nailed to a cross and killed by the Roman Empire, were fed to lions in the arenas of the Roman Empire, but then effected a takeover, rising to full-scale totalitarian murderous power, ruling Rome and a lot of the world from the Vatican, while retaining the pretence of the Christian roots.

Now King George II affects a Christian persona of the modern sort while running a crusade against Islam. The Roman Empire was small beer compared with the USA's global reach and military power.

I often think that I'm a lot more Christian than people who claim to be Christian. Especially in behaviour in the here and now, if not what I think happens after I die [if that ever happens, which I doubt].

Plus ca change.

It's a lot of fun.
