Pat Robertson, Elliott Abrams, Sharon, and Bush

...to ascertain God’s will yet again, this time in regards to the stroke that befell Sharon.Patty has an interesting take on the world - an interesting take on world events - an interesting take on the future - an interesting take on death.
The televangelist detected the hand of God Almighty, saying that Sharon had crossed the Creator’s wishes by giving Gaza back to the Palestinians.
“He was dividing God’s land,” Robertson said on his 700 Club TV show, adding: “I would say, ‘Woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the EU, the United Nations, or the United States of America.”
Robertson was merely espousing in his typical clumsy style what a lot of rightwing fundamentalists believe: And that is that the existence of the state of Israel foretells the End Times, the coming of the Apocalypse, when Jesus will return and when everyone will either have to convert to Christianity or die.
And Bush, whether he believes this or not, takes that constituency seriously.
Thank goodness I'm not in his "world" - the land of the loonies. Problem is: W hears the same voices...
It seems "Loony World" not only has a leader, a minister, but also a news broadcaster. Sean Hannity
...made it clear he thinks Israel should attack Iran and not waste any time over it. Even Alan Colmes seemed uncharacterisitcally bellicose during the segment.Thanks Sean for your words of wisdom. Not as insightful as Patty's, but keep trying.
