I'm a little relieved, I must say. I was beginning to think that maybe Mahmud Ahmadinejad was totally and completely insane. I'm glad to see that I was wrong.
See, Mamud challenged President Bush to a debate (like all sane people, the president of Iran wants his fifteen minutes of fame on national American Television). When George Bush refused, the president of Iran said, "Bad things will happen to anyone who refusea to debate me!" He then stated that this was not a threat from him. No, on the contrary he was representing the views of others.
Mamud Ahmadinejad said: This is not a threat by me. This is a threat by the entire universe...." - M.A. President of Iran

It's nice that the president of Iran is able to act as medium for delivering the opinion of the Entire Goddamn Universe. Otherwise we might never know how the Entire Universe feels - about George Bush and his refusal to debate poor under-exposed Mamud . Yep. I feel so much safer now that I know that we have Iran's president to keep us all fully abreast of the prevailing thoughts and feelings of the Entire Universe. Otherwise some crazy person might claim to be it's spokesman and God knows what might happen then.

Well Bush and America's history of Manifest Destiny (a good Christian theme) is only a few notches down on the belt that holds the ego manic's britches up.

Really, Corvus. "Manifest Destiny" is in play when an Islamo-fascist who threatend Israel with extinction and denies the Holocaust because we of the West think he is dangerous?
Your moral equivalencies don't hold up.
It seem the questions to ask you are
1 Do you want to suffer?
2 Do you want others to suffer?
3 Do you have any obligation to protect others?
4 Is America just another "Israel" to you? Land taken by Europeans from others to found their nation state? In other words, we haven't contributed back to the world or justified our existence to some extent?

Where did you get that scathing bit of savage reparte -a Bazooka Bubblegum wrapper?
And what's an "ego manic"? You are using terms that do not exist in any dictionary and although I admire your creativity, can you please help the rest of us out in the translation to your language so that we can at least understand your thoughts before we chew them up and spit them out ?
As long as you insist on judging Christianity by actions and attitudes dead as mainstream Western thought for ten generations, ( Calvinism, in this case) maybe we should all start referencing the ancient past when talking about contemporary politics. It is so much more fun for the infants who post on the topic to play with.
Diapers nice and comfy, honey?

The universe is against the Iranian gov't. The "universe", the physical side of creation, the body to its mind, carries the message as sound carries music.
The Iranian gov't has said that Islamo-fascism is bad, no good, evil. If it is Isalm's true nature as CW so glibly argues, then Islam must itself die.
If it is not, Islam will have to prove that by reforming itself.
This pudding will then come with a lot of proof in it.

PG,
My spelling has not been on par as of late, I apologise . . . I've only been getting about 3-4 hours of sleep lately. I am working on fixing up a home I purchased and this 3rd shift thing is killing me. In all honesty that's why I've been playing the devils advocate as of late . . . I need to keep myself awake at work and this forum is better than caffeine.
Egomaniac
nice of you to point out this mistake.

As Thomas Edison said, "There are no failures- only eliminations of likely possibilities."
Well met, Sieur Corvus. Your sword-play has improved since when last we met. (Pommel to forehead, extend outward, blade to the sky, with other arm extended fist clenched, reverse blade, insert into sheath). I salute and withdraw my forces.

Yes we have a Crow and a handsome Bower Bird (PG) busy constructing a most attractive nest to win the females.

It's because of Iran's President (get this thing back ontopic), that Jen and I don't yet have the urge to procreate. 
I have a new niece I am spoiling.

Ach! My brain threw a wobbly. lol
PG just bought a townhouse and I though that was who you were talking about. Nathan bought a house too!?!? Oh the joys of home ownership. I just had my home tented and fumigated for termites. Because the poison gas is odorless they add a whole bunch of tear gas to the mix. Last night they declared my home safe to enter but I ventilated it for a couple of more hours then shut the windows and turned the air conditioner on. I was reading the article about the moma panda and tears were streaming down my face - it was the tear gas seeping out of the walls and funiture making my eyes burn and watering like faucets and my nose dripping. We ended up sleeping on the back porch

And I live in a house that is my wife's, but I am included spiritually, shall we say.
I believe we are entering a major period of "Trading Places" as in the film. Many who have seemed to be winners will now fall if they based their victories on illusions or anything really amiss, while many "losers" will move up to take their places.
That is why Hollywood is dead right now. Nothing can happen until the transition is really in place.
Politics as well.
Roy

Something tells me that even if you owned it lock, stock and barrel, top-to-bottom, and built it with your own hands, my brother/instructor Roy, your wife would still own it (in the sense of being the primary senior administrator). That is the Way of the Universe, it appears. Perhaps rightly so.

Yes indeed. Classic. Since before the beginning the inner is ruled by the feminine and the outter by the masculine. These are complementary spheres. Men properly established themselves on the outside and are rulers of states, business, and families. As the great Chinese scholar Yen Chih-t'ui (531-590) wrote "do not allow the disaster of the hen announcing the dawn."

The quote below *Phil* wrote on another topic . It was so apt and descriptive a passage that I transferred it over here to this topic, lock, stock and barrel! In my view, it applies doubly in the context of jihaddism and the philosophy that states it is permissible or laudible to destroy the entire world in the search for conquest. The most stark difference between the jihaddist/militant arab faction and modern Christian doctrine - the jihaddists/Arabs do not deign to destroy the entire world in the process of trying to conquer it by force of arms.
*Phil* wrote :
The universe is designed just so. The foundations are in careful balance, too much of one thing or another and the universe ends.
C.G. Jung in Aion [CW 9ii para 108] quotes the midrash Bereshith Rabba :
"Even so said the Holy One, blesses be He: If I create the world on the basis of mercy alone, its sins will be great; but on the basis of justice alone the world cannot exist. Hence I will create it on the basis of justice and mercy, and may it then stand!" The midrash on Genesis 18:23 (Abraham's plea for Sodom) says (Abraham speaking): "If thou desirest the world to endure, there can be no absolute justice, while if thou desirest absolute justice, the world cannot endure. Yet thou wouldst hold the cord by both ends, desiring both the world and absolute justice. Unless thou forgoest a little, the world cannot endure."
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would do well to remember this all the rest of his life. Thank you for posting that, Master ! - PG
