Who are those guys?

I keep thinking about the 2004 Presidential election that pitted the incumbent, George W. Bush, against John Kerry. The mantra in those days was "Which devil do you want? The one you know or the one you don't..." Well we took the one we knew and although I admit that I was happy at the time, it certainly didn't work out well, but that’s something we’re dealing with today in terms of a terrible economy and a new President that seemingly is intent on making things worse instead of better. But back to the subject at hand…
Today we are faced with a similar scenario when considering all the ruckus emanating from the Arab world in particular and the Muslim world in general. For many years our country’s foreign policy in the Arab and South Asia regions has supported monarchies, military governments and out and out dictators as they strong armed their people and maintained some semblance of normalcy in those volatile areas.

Egypt is in the midst of a basically non-violent change in its leadership and now we are witnessing the bloody overthrow of yet another Arab despot in Libya only a few years removed from our country's military taking down two separate governments and here, while our economy struggles along, we are once again taking an active role. In addition, Yemen appears to be going through a change as well and there have been violent government reactions to demonstrators wanting leadership change in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Syria. We are hearing rumblings out of Iran that there have been demonstrations against their government too, but reliable news is being suppressed. Pakistan’s general population seems intent on opposing their military government and there’s always the chance of conflict between Pakistan and India. So if you count Iraq and Afghanistan, the whole region is facing upheaval… Just who are these people attempting to overthrow their governments? Our government is downplaying the likelihood that the terrorist organizations have anything to do with it, but I have to say this is the sort of thing they seem geared toward. Will Taliban type ruling bodies soon take over all these countries?

One look at a map of the Muslim World yields a sobering look at where Israel fits into the scheme of things. Five million Jews surrounded by 300 million Muslims that may suddenly be united in one common cause…

If you’re familiar with the Bible Code then you should know that in the third volume published last October, the code tells us Al Qaeda not only has nuclear weapons, it also tells us where they are stored and yet for some reason the site hasn’t been looked at, almost as if nobody believes the code even though it has correctly told us of all the major world events and leaders since the Jewish Old Testaments were written. If the code is correct, before the end of this year we may be faced with the ultimate act of terrorism, a nuclear weapon being set off most likely within Israel’s borders, an act that could send the world into another world war; a war that will change everything.

So while the demonstrators go about changing Arab governments, who exactly are we supporting?
