So was stupid fucking George W. Bush. Thoughtless Evangelical Christians who lack the education and introspection to see they're playing with fire invoking Crusades and Armageddon and Old-Testament Vengeance.

It's the same rhetoric that Iran's Shiite fanatics have been using against us.

The same rhetoric that Israel's Nationalist fanatics have used to fan the flames against Palestinians and justify murder.

It's all the same theoretical God, ironically.
