I am convinced that the if God wanted peace in the Middle-East, he shouldn’t have parted the Red Sea for Moses. The Israelites should have stayed back in Egypt. They would have been assimilated in the mainstream , and over the next few centuries a powerful pan Hellenistic-Hebrew empire would have risen, which would have meant Jesus would not have risen in rebellion. In turn, there would not be any such thing as Christianity, and optimistically, no Islam either. The whole region would have had turned into one atheistic melting pot by now, as Europe would not have plunged the world into the Dark Ages, and the Americans would not have plunged the Middle East into a crisis. As there would have been no good ‘Christian’ Americans ‘caught up’ in a terrible conflict.
I laud America’s efforts to bring peace in the middle-east. To Ted for vending neurotoxins, likewise : the hours of invincibility and Supermanhood it brings to me.
Peace is an ideal cherished only under influence, like I get when I’m across the bar with Ted, having downed a significant few. John Lennon believed in world peace seriously, unfortunately, I cannot afford being stoned all the time. But I do have my moments of inspiration : I have dreamt of Jesus, Moses and Mohammed shake hands and boot the Americans out of the Middle East.
Hey its a local problem. The American economy must continue to flourish, but the peace joke must stop !
