Too bad, this piece is complete right wing propaganda. It's historically inaccurate (to be kind) and isn't credited as to the writer (because it's a lie, no doubt), who is purported to be an unidentified Christian minister in the copy I got @ home. Also, it's a damned chain letter. It's also so lame, it's hard to know if the intent is to bolster the Israelis or make them appear foolish. Anyone buying into it is certainly foolish. Anyone buying into the anthrax crap as being something other than domestic politically motivated horseshit ala Timothy McVeigh is also being foolish. That stuff is coming from THIS country, IMO. The white supremacists want to bring down the government more than bin Laden, they're total anarchists. They're for the most part, Christian Fundamentalists just like the Taliban, but with a somewhat different stripe. How'd you like to live under THEIR reign? I think not, thanks. Like it or not, bin Laden accomplished something, we're taking a hard look at policy, at security and "intelligence" that was half-assed and a waste of time and money, and so what if he's a target? That's what he wanted. Tsk, tsk... The US has been such a strong backer of Israel that the bin Laden's of the world knew we'd react with a knee-jerk response and just like what's happening with the Israelis, the bigger response we make, the more nations raise an eyebrow towards us in astonishment, that eye becoming more and more critical. Don't be fooled people, know THE FACTS. It would make a whole lot more sense as an American reaction to terrorism if we made all these so-called "religious leaders" get together to create an international PERMANENT moratorium on claiming their faith is the ONLY way to God. It would make a lot more sense if THEY declared war on those who kill in the name of God, those who claim their religious instruction has justified murder. It would make a lot more sense if those religious leaders were so outraged as to beg for the eradication of any murderous zealots who promote the killing of anyone who disagrees with them in the name of God. Obviously, those "religious leaders" are ALL dead wrong, right now... Anyone claiming their faith is the ONLY way to God is an idiot. Anyone claiming it's a sin to break religious laws that go against the very nature of basic human rights and freedom of choice is an immoral ass, plain and simple. THAT stupid, convoluted philosophy is where all of this shit started folks, and is definitely why it has continued for eons, and has now sucked us in, completely. Think about it.
