King Abdullah of Jordan has said that if the U.S. (and Obama) fails this year to get a settlement on the Palestinian matter, there will be a war in a year or so. The Middle East will erupt, he says. The whole world will be drawn into the calamity.
I hope he is wrong, because Obama cannot be expected to work miracles where so many former American governments have failed. On the other hand, other Presidents have made some great advances in settling matters over there. In fact, President Carter shared a Nobel Peace Prize for his work, and it is said that Clinton came within a hair's breadth of a settlement just before he left office. The problem os course has been that in the past few years, the crisis has boiled repeatedly to a hot steam. Hundreds of thousands of people have been killed and injured. If the U.S. really is the only force which can bring a settlement to the area, then we have shirked our responsibility shamefully recently. Instead making matters worse in Iraq, we should have expended our resources more fruitfully in making peace, not war.
This was another grave error from the wasted years that bastard was in the White House.

Call me a dirty old man if you wish --- please. Seems to me the problem for Miss California is not that there are half nude pictures of her out and about on the internet, but that they are only half nude. "Half nude" is what she was at the Beauty Pageants. Give us something to drool over.
Surely we can improve
on this.

The world is going to end with a war in the arab countries the bible says, so it might as well be now, right?
Hmm, what bible says that?
First of all, thanks for contributing. It makes my day. Well, is it or isn't it in the Bible? I keep hearing about end times and raptures and so on. Isn't there supposed to be an end time? Or does this depend upon interpretations of the Bible?
Help!
This is what I understand - A literal belief in end times and the rapture is an interpretation of the final book in the New Testament, a type of literature known as apocalyptic literature that was quite popular during periods of Roman persecution of Christians. This book (Revelations/Apocalypse)is full of coded messages of hope to Christians of the late first century using colors, numbers, and other symbols. Traditionally, the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Orthodox, and mainline Protestant demonations view this book and such topics as the rapture as figurative literature. Of course, there are others who read Revelations/Apocalypse as a prediction of specific events to come.
Miss California, of course, was posing for world peace, in accordance with her Christian beliefs. She's also for traditional values like objectifying women and free porn on the 'Net.
