Bush is not a king. Neither is Blair, and neither is Olmert. And don't start 
that crap about the bible being all about 'symbolism' because people who 
believe that shit interpret everything just the way they want to to make it 
fit their stupid stories. This is the same in EVERY religion. I don't like 
it that Bush is claiming to be the agent of god, but what I also don't like 
is being threatened in my way of life by a bunch of middle-aged barbarians 
with turbans, who abuse their women, send their 11 year old children to the 
frontline with a gun, blow themselves up in crowded areas in the name of 
allah, and want to kill everyone who is different from themselves.

You must be completely out of your mind if you think that either China or 
Russia will lay a finger on Israel. Why on earth would they? Israel is just 
defending itself. A bit overwhelming, maybe, but hey, they're the largest, 
best equipped, best trained military force out there. Yes, they WILL stand 
against those allied forces, they've done it before, and they've only gotten 
stronger since. It took them SIX DAYS to kick all those asses. The "allied" 
arab forces are still firing scuds and kachukas. They might as well be 
throwing bricks.

Where did Bush use chemical weapons? And, mind you, it took nuclear weapons 
to END the second world war.

I thought you said that Bush was the king. And who's hammer will come down, 
anyway?

I don't think that Bush was a school yard bully. I also do not think that 
the United Nations are "powerless" and I also do not believe that democracy 
was destroyed anywhere. People in Iraq can now vote. Before that, they could 
only vote for Saddam Hussein or get a bullet in the head (after being 
tortured). Same goes for Afghanistan. Now you could debate whether or not 
the US has the right to meddle in those affairs, but I think that it was 
really Afghanistan who drew that much attention to themselves by harbouring 
international terrorists.

Bla bla bla. Nuclear fire? Fire is not nuclear. A nuclear bomb does not 
explode in a huge blast of fire. It's a huge blast of air pressure and a lot 
of nasty radiation. Go away with that stupid ancient 
changed-over-time-to-fit-the-church's-agenda book.

Why? Do you honestly think that when Jerusalem is under attack, all 
countries all over the world will fire all their nuclear missiles in unison 
at all the large cities in the world? Wtf are you smoking?

Bahahaha. Israel will grab Iran by the balls and smack them back across the 
border. Iran doesn't stand a chance.

I fail to see any humor in this post. Besides ofcourse the whole religional 
bible-quoting thing and doomsaying, but I don't think you meant that.

A nuclear war is never in the best interest of any country. Any country will 
always look out for their own best interest, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF rogue 
states like North-Korea, or Iran, who either would drop a nuke for religious 
(Iran) or megalomaniacal (North-Korea) reasons. The US knows this, and 
therefore wants to make it impossible for those 2 countries to develop 
nuclear weapons. Why? Because it's in the US best interest. Same goes for 
Russia, same goes for China.
