Watching theocracy

Dear Leon, Cass, and all,
The Dominionist agenda is terrifying enough without imagining "black
magicians" behind it. What is most mind-boggling is the way many
different strains of theocracy empower one other even though their
visions of the future are deeply, and potentially violently,
incompatible. For example, Christian theocrats in the US are a solid
base of support for the Israeli extreme right, which welcomes their
support in spite of the Christians' long-range goal of converting all
the Jews. (Because in the short term destroying the Dome of the Rock
and rebuilding the Temple strike both as divinely ordained-- they'll
worry about the details later.) Similarly, there is a weird marriage
of convenience between the Baha'i administration, which makes no
effort to disguise its ultimate goal of taking over the entire world
and the governments of every country in it, and the state of Israel
where Baha'i headquarters are located.
Odds are that 1400 American lives, 200 billion American dollars, and
tens of thousands of Iraqi lives will ultimately have been sacrificed
to install a Shi'a theocracy in Baghdad aligned with the mullahs in
Tehran. (Thanks to the Defense Department PNACers and
such "journalists" as Judith Miller, the US govt and press became
enablers of Ahmed Chalabi's espionage and fraud.)
Here's a link to an article about the latest antics of Rev. Dobson,
who sees cartoon characters as insidious agents of the gay agenda. I
think "Plaid Adder" hits the nail on the head-- the very notion of
tolerance of any kind must ultimately be destroyed if these people
get their way. And who is going to stop them?
