"If I was Jewish, I would bet a lot that the Moslems who threaten all the things they do, would do the things they promise. I would NOT want to be under the thumb of totalitarian Islamic Jihad and the carnage they create and backward superstitious beliefs leading nowhere. " If i was Christian, i would fee much the same way. Chimps like chris and jttab just dont get it. If Bush farts, they can smell it 1000 miles away. If Ahmadijad promises death, that just rhetoric. MQ, you can yell all you want to these guys, but the plain fact is that they are fucking dumb. There is no other explanation for folks who believe that their families are more safe with ahmadijad in the WH than Bush.

re. totalitarian....would messiah or a messianic figure be a more appropriate expression considering the religious context?

It was a rather simple recent and obvious example: <Imagine if Adolf or Yasser had got hold of Albert Einstein when he was young = no more Theory of Relativity and we'd have made little progress. > But without Isaac Newton would there have been a Theory of Relativity? There's an obvious and simple example. If I was Jewish, I would bet a lot that the Moslems who threaten all the things they do, would do the things they promise. I would NOT want to be under the thumb of totalitarian Islamic Jihad and the carnage they create and backward superstitious beliefs leading nowhere. And if I could snap my fingers and make bigotry go away I'd do it. Our discussion here was most disappointing. IMO, the worst part was that you couldn't think of a rationale to support Israel that wasn't hollow. jttmab P.S. I suspect that if you wrote that we should support Israel because Jews like pork, Michael might be here saying "Great post."
