I'm suffer'n a brainerisum over picking sides in this scrap.
I hear that Arafat is a terrorist, under the GW Bush 9-11 doctrine it seems there is a GREEN light to "take him out".. Yet I have to remember that many Isreal founding "fathers" were just like the PLO in founding Isreal and running the British out. Some of my "thinking" is corrupted by a liberal arts education<G> They bombed Hotels and used force for political objectives, they did this to successfuly bring about *change.. They got what they took. Our own country came to be in a "Revolutionary War" and I'm sure later it was difficult to choose sides in when the "Civil War" came to your town. Godly people assumed position on both sides! That said.. Just why is the USA thinking about jumping in the middle of this firefight? Our Vietnam involvement came out of supporting the FRENCH and their claim to SE asia over the right of the Vietnamese people to self-govern. *I beleve.. in "reading" the news that a "siege mentality" has come to Isreali leadership, that they beleve it's NOW or never, to crush resistance and secure their occupation of the land of Palestine. Haveing grown up under the influence of AG teaching on the "end times" It's easy to sumerize the conflict and predict the winner. History seemes to fill in the missing pieces to the jig-saw puzzle so that we now have network TV shows reading the current news from a Biblical based view of current events and end time theology. (*I'll cut to the wild stuff) 1. Someone needs to clear out the "Mosque of Omar" off the temple mount 2. Someone needs to find the missing Ark of the Covenent. 3. In our rush to assign this scrap "Biblical Overtones" I hope my Grandchildren will inherit a beautiful life and western sunset by a clear clean river full of Steelhead trout. *I'm thinking this ISN'T WW3.. but just two OLD MEN with grudges squareing off with the world watching.. Send the IDF back to the barracks, wash down the APC's and field strip the M16's. -=Doc=- --- Bob Simons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am for Israel for this reason.
