"You got that? Nasrallah wanted to help the infidel Americans by attacking Israel, just so he could deflate the planned Israeli war in October (that would have been unprovoked, of course, because Hezbollah is peaceful).And a commenter puts his finger on the pulse of the Tinfoil Apocalypse:
How long do you suppose before this paranoid conspiracy theory travels through the nutcases at DU?"
I also wonder if this kind of thing is really symptomatic of the
level of sophistication of the every day Yusseff and Omar. Are they so benighted that they will swallow this stuff? If so, we have a long haul ahead of us to reprogram these guys. My oh my.
finally I think it's interesting that no matter what any arab does it's all Israel's fault. Here we have an aggressive madman who launched an allout war and he's scrambling to find ways to blame his stupidity on the Jews.
Israel has become a convenient whipping boy for all the failings of the various despotic regimes in the region. The parallels between the arab/muslim culture and nazi germany are quite frightening.
Let me explain the Tinfoil Apocalypse another way. You don't need dispensationalism or even the book of Revelations to believe in the Apocalypse. You only need to acknowledge human stupidity and ignorance.
If you plunk down a nuke with a red detonation button on the side of it in the midst of an African rain forest filled with tribes practicing "witch doctory", any rational person would say that the only possible reason that the red button won't get pushed would be that they actually don't understand the concept of "button" enough to know to push one.
At the other end of the scale, the only reason we haven't had a nuke war with "advanced" nations like the Soviets is that their nihilism was held in check by a whisker and our control systems were barely good enough to overcome mistakes.
If you follow the evolution and migration of mankind out of Africa, to the Middle East, to Europe and Asia, and to the U.S., I have described a simplified version of the "sweep of history".
The weak link and fault line of this evolution is in the Middle East. They're smart enough to understand the concept of button but not the true import of what technologies those buttons may be attached to.
We violated the Prime Directive in the course of our search for energy by witlessly funding Islamofascism. The Arabs would be much more akin to the Africans in their wide scale impact on the world if it wasn't for this. That is to say not much.
I already referenced that Gagdad had it right the other day:
"It's pretty odd when you can be less than five years away from the nuclear bomb but more than five centuries away from the nuclear age."
