-Caveat Lector- The War Lobby: The Israeli Lobby, under the instructions of Sharon, is urging the United States to make a war on Iraq in violation of the United Nations Charter and the principles of International Law. This Lobby is composed of AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee), the presidents' Conference of Major Jewish American Organization, and many American institutes and front organizations dominated by the Israeli lobby and their Christian Zionist stooges. AIPAC has a national membership of sixty thousand. It has controlled the U.S. Middle East policy in favor of sixty thousand. It has controlled the U.S. Middle East policy in favor of Israeli extremists. Agents of the Israeli Lobby inside the U.S. Administration include such as Paul Wolfowitz, Deputy Defense Secretary, Richard Perle, Chairman of the Defense Policy Advisory Board, and Douglas Feith, Deputy Secretary for Policy in the Defense Department. These three are working closely with Sharon, Netanyahu and Shatransky to influence President Bush to support the Israeli extremists who are against pace. They are aided by the advisors of Vice President Cheney to keep President Bush in support of Ariel Sharon. This blatantly one-sided policy is resulting in the stirring of Arab enmity towards the United States. (The Christian News, 12/9/02)
The War Engine: Evangelical leaders here in the United States must be held accountable and responsible for exposing Americans to the possibility of a return nucular strike for the illegal acts demanded. A multimillion-dollar outreach program aimed at the nation's pro-Israel Christians has ben founded by Ralph Reed and Yechiel Eckstein, president of the International Fellowship of Christians &Jews. The project is called Stand for Israel and is trying to mobilize 100,000 churches and 250,000 persons who are willing to call into Washington, E.C., Congressional offices in support of International Zionism and its goals., which include the destruction of Iraq and Iran. (Criminal Politics, 7/8/02) The largest religious Pro-Israel is the Christian Coalition, with 2 million members. This organization was built by campaigning against abortion but has now turned to Israel as the U.S., prepares for war against Iraq. Basis of this "Christian Zionism" is a false interpretation of Bible prophecy, which holds that modern Jews are God's people with a divine right to the land of Palestine, and that all who bless them will be blessed. Some of their leading figures are Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Tim LaHay, co-arthur of the"Left Behind" novels, and John Hagee, pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio. The stars and stripes hangs on one side of the Cornerstones's stage. On the other side; a Star of David. Hagee says, "I'm impassioned; if you will, a Zionist for Israel." Wen asked about his contacts with the Israeli government Hagee said, "Well, If I phone Israel I can get in contact with most anyone that I want to talk to." There are millions of (braindead) of conservative church members who have become tools of the Zionist lobby and part of the engine that is driving the U.S. and Israel into an all out world conflagration that will change the world forever; for the worse. The Opposition: What is seldom, if ever, reported is the large number of Christians and others who are strongly opposed to military action against Iraq. In July some 50 Evangelical Christian Leaders presented a letter to the president in which they condemned the Administration's strong support for Israel, calling for a more "even-handed U.S. policy," and condemning "the continued Israeli military occupation that daily humiliates ordinary Palestinians..." In September 48 Christian church and church organization leaders a letter to president Bush, saying, "It is wrong as well as detrimental to U.S. interests" for the United States to launch pre-emptive military action against Iraq. "The pre-emptive use of military force...establishes a dangerous precedent, particularly for other nations that feel threatened by the weapons capabilities of their neighbors," the latter said. Another group calling itself "Not In Our Name" (NION) has signed a "Statement of Conscience" calling on people to resist the president's war. They claim to have 100,000 signers. The Zionist-controlled press has failed to report the many anti-war protests that have taken place throughout the nation. Besides these there have been demonstrations in France, Germany, England and numerous other nations, all protesting against a U.S. Military attack on Iraq. Luther on War: While Luther was not a pacifist and held that war was justified in defense of one's homeland, he was convinced that it was insanity to wage war, "If the children of men were sound in all other respects, would not the one lust to engage in war fairly prove that one and all of them are insane? How great, friend, this fury is! How dense the darkness of men even to rejoice at, to sign about, and to praise the defeat, the butcher, blood, murder , and the whole of chaos of evils which war brings in its train, when it would be fitting to weep about all these things with tears of blood, particularly when war is waged not at the command of God but because of the insane lust for power and possession. But thus the heathen have acted, and as they still act; and today, alas, Christians, the people of peace, the children of God, act more cruelly than all the heathen." (What Luther Says, E. Plass, Concordia Pub. House, excerpt from Christian News, 10/14/02) Bad Alternative: "I talk to men and women in college every day and I hear constantly from women that are miserably with the status quo...If having orgies was good for you, if having multiple sex partners made people happy, if being like Samantha on ‘Sex and the City' made people happy, I'd be telling you that's what you've got to do. But it could not be further fro the truth...I see Samanthas (Kim Cattrall's character) in my office every day. Its not a liberated existence. They are unhappy, they are miserable, and most of all, they are sick. Unfortunately, popular culture promotes a ‘Sex in the City' life as an alternative. And I am here to tell you that it is not a good one." (Dr. Drew Pnsky in the Women's Independent Forum, via The Washington Times, 12/2/02) Most Important Force: A TV documentary on December 25 on the Coral Ridge Hour, explored the question, "What if Jesus had never been born?" Vishal Mangalwadi, an author, intellectual, and social reformer in India, regards Jesus as the "single most important force behind the creation of the modern world" and points to the 19th century elimination of suttee; the burning of Indian widows, as one example of positive social change made by Christ's followers. There are many other examples. The rise of sciences, mass education, a high regard for human life, hospitals, charity, representative government, and the elevation of women can all be traced to the impart of Christ and His followers in the last two millennia.

"Some people, once they adopt an idea, bury it in the ground and go on the rest of their lives defending it, without ever re-examining it to see whether time and the elements have caused it to decay into a worthless handful of dust. In that way you can be always consisten; and often wrong."
