IS
THIS
TRULY
A
"CRUSADE"
IN
IRAQ?
An
E-Mail to a Democratic National Committee Member
I've
just had a terrible thought.
Now [after the
bombing at the mosque] there's fear that Iraq could descend into
a civil war, of Shiites vs. Sunnis.
The GOP has two
basic movers -- the Economic Right, such as the Halliburton
crowd, making money re-building Iraq; and the Religious Right...
Maybe there were
no plans for postwar Iraq, other than those no-bid contracts,
because this really was, to a certain degree by certain factions
within the Administration, a religious "Crusade":
If you wanted to "divide and conquer" Islam, what
better way to do it than to pit two of its largest factions
against one another, in the heart of the Muslim world?
Remember that a
lot of evangelical Christians have suddenly become "best
friends" to the most warlike of Israelis (who they still
say are going to hell) in order to help fulfill the Biblical
prophecy of the Apocalypse.
This whole thing
is getting pretty damn scary.
