Why don't gravitons just flow out of all dimensions as loop particles that don't interact with dimensional walls as a sort of Hawking radiation and remove all mass/energy from the Universe?
The Iraq election is a milestone considering the etiology of events leading to it. I offer my congratulations to the people of Iraq and the administration for bringing it off.
Yet readings recently in Ezra and Nehemia, Haggai and other minor prophets have brought to mind the intrinsic problems of political stability and transition in mesopotamia, as well as the history of Israel in being attacked by hostile neighbors as the struggled to rebuild the walls of the city of David.
It should be hoped that an American withdrawl of military forces from Iraq can proceed in ratio to the need of the Iraqi Government to have foreign troops to police their own society against the ravages of International Terrorists.
In the old testament scriptures it is recounted that God had repeatedly employed foreign armies to correct Israeli transgressions, and in turn the foreign armies were destroyed along with their governments by other foreign militaries. The history of the middle east seems a progression in teleology that continued even to the modern era to allow the word of God and opportunity for salvation through faith in His Son Jesus Christ to be heard by the masses of the world.
Even as recent of hisorical progressions as the muslim invasion of Spain stimulated a more rapid and evangelical Christian response in Europe. The Muslim occupation of the middle east retarded that civilization's development sufficiently to allow European nationalism to grow, and to withstand the incursions of the fierce mongolians.
As the faithless Soviet empire withered away, some of the gospel of Jesus Christ was able to reenter throughout the former empire. Muslim fundamentalist challenges have prompted a renewed interest in correcting decadent elements of western civilization, and brought the possibility of a nascent democratic action to the fertile crescent, albeit one challenged implicitly by an overweaning transnational Corporate force that presents greater challenges to egalitarianism than the British and the stamp act did to Bostonians.
Democracy is a political function of the union of individualism in common civil rights. Forces of socialism and neo-Corporatism oppose individualism, especially internet writing individualism, as do theocratic governments, ad hoc pharisee hegemonic neo-Corporatist trans-national corruptions, and power cliques for-themselves.
History has so many paradoxes. One of the names for ancient Jewish leaders was nasi. The Bhagivad Gita may have it's leading phoneme etymologically from an ancient Persian word for God; Baga. The Persians and Medes historically were the Aryans that invaded the Indus civilization circa 2500 BC to give a different religious leadership and caste system to those interesting Indians that has lasted nearly to the present.
Cyrus, it shouldn't be too controversial to say, did not provide for the restoration of the Jewish Temple of God soley, he also repatriated all the statues and implements of worship to all the captured and pillaged people of the empire he conquered in Babylon.
Good luck Iraq, may you have many millions of gallons of McCloskey 20 year self-priming exterior acrylic paint ahead of you (available at Wal-Mart).
