Re: fwd ... Holy Lands

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.
