Analysis
of what went wrong in the hand off from the Bush administration to
the Obama that allowed ISIS to develop to the point of declaring a
Caliphate may take many angles. The Atlantic has a good piece...
If
ISIS is a pro-Muslim terror organization aiming to stimulate
Armageddon the Presidential language refers to the political concern
as 'violent extremists' as if they were Republicans or
anti-homosexual marriage partisans through other means. Not even the
Republican oil economic political team wishes to bring the world to
Armageddon, although like ISIS some Christian evangelical
organizations believe that a tribulation is ahead and an Armageddon
is in the stars, cards or political future.
Muhammad
the slave-owning inventor of a synthetic religion seems to have made
the same mistake that pre-trib Christians do in interpreting the
Revelation of John incorrectly. Pre-trib Christians think that John's
prophecies referred to times thousands of years in the future
largely. Muhammad in manufacturing his amalgam of Christian and
Jewish ideas misinterpreted the Revelation like so many others. That
error about end times and apocalypse has infected much of the oily
political world and is a good rationale for fatalistic war and
terror.
The
pre-tribs and pre-Apocalyptic crowd tends to regard those not
anticipating chaos, war, death and orange explosions as fruitcakes.
Also the Apocalyptists have deterministic doom soon as an excellent
recruiting and revenue-enhancement spiel.
Preterists
such as myself (after reading Gentry's book 'The Beast of the
Revelation' and 'He Shall Have Dominion' think that John's prophecy's
were about an apocalypse that actually happened in the first century
when Nero and Tiberius ruled the Roman Empire and Jerusalem was
destroyed. It was a brilliant prophecy yet those reading centuries
later probably didn't think it too significant (though as many as a
half million were killed at Jerusalem). The mistake is quite
meaningful however when one considers that entire lunatic
paramilitaries and wars can happen with people trying to fulfill a
wrong prophetic outline.
Muhammad
was not just a political-religious inventor; he was wrong. Probably
if Joe Biden had read the Bible and invented a religion of his own
drawing upon additional sources it would have turned out as wrong as
Mohammed's. Fundamentally the problem with ISIS is that they have
lots of weapons from the Bush and Obama administration activities in
the Middle East and that saturation of weapons will persist to fuel
terrorist conflict for some time.
The
left and right will tend to want interdiction conflicts with
different theoretical goals to quell the uprising of lunatic
insurrections would would think. With the U.S. military now being
queered by homosexuality and an administration developing homosexual
marriage it is understandable that many people outside the sphere of
immoral evil politics would wish to resist American occupation forces
with their lives-one can't blame them in that regard, yet the killing
of civilians is reprehensible. The Obama administration is guilty of
trying to overthrow the Assad administration obviously and that has
put them on a par with ISIS. Though civilians in America hire proxy
soldiers called volunteers to do their dirty work these days and the
U.S. Government uses war as a substitute for intelligent thought
because it profits some corporations perhaps there is a need for deep
political thought in D.C. before blundering in to doing something
just for the sake of doing something-that gets expensive and can be
harmful to U.S. national interests. It is equally possible to do
nothing and let a bad situation get worse. That is why voters should
elect intelligent leadership with good ideas.
