Wanna know why the sand my pals hate the USA? Because they see the USA and Israel as being one and the same.
Exactamundo...give this man a fish.
If it wasn't for the entanglement of Christianity and Judaism, we would have probably bombed the area to kingdom come long ago. When I was young and brash, I asked my dad why we don't just bury thermonuclear devices in the ground, pull our troops and turn the entire region into a sea of glass...he told me that it's because the whole region is where the "final battle" of Armageddon will take place and where Christ will return. This whole bullshit struggle in the Middle East is all about that.
I mean, fuck...you have the Christian Bible that says to beware when peace comes to the Middle East. Shit, they even say that the person who brings peace to the region is the "Antichrist".
So the whole problem is that you have people who really want peace there, but you have the kooks who continue the violence because to have peace is to usher in the end times....it's like the United States and Israel are holding back Armageddon.
Read "The Great & Secret Show" by Clive Barker...one of the characters, Kissoon, is holding back a moment in time by sheer force of will. This is exactly what we're doing. Holding back the moment that Christians believe is the end of days.
Some Christian faiths want the end to come...but I believe that there is a secret sect that is working behind the scenes to ensure that peace NEVER comes the Middle East because they are scared of "The Beast".
