END OF DAYS?

The power of anger cannot be underestimated as we can see in Lebanon as the people there are uniting to get rid of their overlords.
It is another amazing occurrence as we look at the world and in particular the Middle East, where you have Iraq trying to be free and independent, the Israelis and Palestinians trying to work together, and the people of Lebanon trying to free themselves of their Syrian brothers “oppressors” after the assassination of their former prime minister by the Syrians. Obviously there is not an actual fingerprint to prove that they did it , but then again anyone who does not believe that the Syrians killed the former prime minister probably also still believe that O.J. was innocent as well.
We are still very naïve for Americans as we try and give the people in the world around us the same good motives that we try and ascribe to ourselves. This is not the case, we do try and help people around the world, but there are many people in the world who work for a different cause. They do not even care if it is smart in the long run as long as it is expedient at this time in history.
We Americans are so amusing as we walk hand and hand into chopper blades. That is the most visual image I can think of for the “geniuses” in this country who believe that we are wrong and that all of the rest of the world that opposes are efforts in the Middle East and elsewhere are right. These are the same people who through their lack of action caused the deaths of those people in the Twin Towers in New York, The Pentagon, and numerous sites around the world where are people are butchered by these bloody bastards.
My rant and the bone that I shall continue to gnaw on is that most of the world is evil, you can take that either religiously or in a more sectarian manner, but the real bottom line is that if we do not hold the line against these fanatics they shall take over the world and kill anyone who does not follow their beliefs.
I for one think that we are in a kind of end of days scenario, perhaps not the Book of Revelation end of days that many in this world are trying to instigate, but there is a definite change of times coming for all us. It often fascinates me that anyone would want to cause the end of the world just to see if what they believe is actual.
We have seen the crazies who follow fundamentalist Christianity who would be happy is the end of the world was actually occurring, as they believe that they have a front seat in heaven. This is also true in Islamic thinking where it is considered a martyr’s death to kill not Islamic people. I find both of these sides abhorrent and they should be stopped in any way possible.
Our job as civilized human beings is to continue trying make the world a better place, for even if the God of both people are real, he must have some compassion for those who in the face of destruction and death choose to keep helping their fellow man.
God is Great, so is Man, we can continue to improve our planet and we must fight for what is good and great in man. That is the hope that god had when he began this process and we should strive to do the right thing each and every day. Even if that Good and Right thing is to Kill the Bad Guys!!
