Not only is there a lacking in undersanding of the world but also considering the so-called christian support for the illigitimate US government, one needs to only read what the Bible teaches and one would see that It also is overtly socialistic and most definetly NOT materialistic or in favour of hegemony upon the poor, so it's two strikes all the way around. Actually, the only form of government that sees capitalism and government meld is fascism; couple that with misrepresented and obliquely interpreted religious belief and you have the mess the US is in right now. It is neither Christian nor democratic as their actions have more than clearly proven. When actually faced with the democratic process in a general vote at the UN prior to the invasion of sovereign Iraq, when it became clear that the democratic vote process would not favour the warmongers they left off all semblance of their hypocrisy and invaded anyway, throwing off the democratic process proving once and for all that democracy only interests them in word only and that only when it serves their selfish purpose. A complete re-think of the hubris that engulfs this situation is not only needed but necessary if we are not to see perpetual war foisted upon the innnocent in a never ending lust for control of world oil reserves.
