Musings of a Dumb Ass

Musings of a Dumb Ass.... Most Americans grew up in an environment professing allegiance to the Christian faith. The factual side of what we became dedicated to was of little importance as long as we believed in some version of Jesus as the son of man and the child of God. All Christians equate their faith in the shadow of the Jews although the Jews view the Christians as frauds and not worthy of heaven and in fact believe that none other than the Jews will ever be accepted into heaven. Into this setting comes the Muslims who also worship the God of Abraham as do the Jews and Christians but likewise believe neither the Christians or Jews have a chance at Heaven. In the midst of all this comes the confusion of faith and politics and finally misguided madness and power brokerage. Somehow coming out of World War 2 through what seems to me sympathy to the Jews for the treatment they recieved at the hands of Hitler, and the Christian belief that the Jews must have a homeland for Christ to return to in his second coming, a belief not shared by the other two religions also worshiping the God of Abraham. Equate into this the power of the USA coming out of World War 2 and the formation of The United Nations governed by a majority of nations under our influence and the decision to give the Jews a homeland in Palestine and uprooting those already living there to make room for the ones taking over, then the total support both financially and militarily from us to the Jews ignoring all others translates to today and the situation in the Middle East. There is no way out of this. If the current mess quiets down it will only go back to a simmer to erupt again because resolution will not be allowed by the USA. In our eyes resolution is the complete dominance of Israel over whom ever challenges them and likewise those who want their land and lives back will settle only for the departure of Israel. A very tough situation and possibly one that can only be resolved by a full scale war in which those who oppose Israel and the way she behaves will be obliged to equip those in the gunsights of Israel with equipment and armies to match. No fighter planes have taken to the air from Lebanon to return fire because there aren't any. No tanks have been photographed or filmed returning fire because there aren't any. No organized military is seen taking up arms against those who are destroying everything in sight because they have none capable of rising up. Instead they are relegated to firing missiles that can be set up in a yard of a civilian neighborhood and fired by an incensed Arab ducking the onslaught of an air force with all the modern gadgets and armament suitable to a superpower but sent by a country no bigger than New Hampshire, and of course financed by the USA. In predictable form, we are warning all Muslim nations to not dare to provide armament or any other support to Lebanon or anyone else Israel decides to attack. We have been plain enough in our support of Israel to blatanly give her a week or so to completely destroy everything in Lebanon before any easing up is considered. Those blinded by the religious side of this tragedy believing God is on their side should take a deep breath and look at the whole picture beginning with the formation of the Jewish state in 1948 and those displaced and affected by that action and consider whether that was the correct way for the Jews to have a homeland or not. And be advised.... God will have a way of deserting you as we wreak havoc on our own stability and being, in pursuit of reaching for the blessings of the almighty. If there is an almighty, he or it must be very disappointed in our behaviour......................
