This is all so hypocritical.

If the President of Iran had a stroke and Robertson said that maybe God did it to prevent him from carrying out his evil plans against Israel, Jews, no one would say a word.

This is about policy.

Robertson believes Sharon acted badly.

Men of faith- all faiths- believe that God punishes people who act badly.

The Word of God is as clear as can be but some still for some reason think a game of Russian Roulette with God might be the thing to do.

Joel 3:2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and [for] my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

Joel 3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD [is] near in the valley of decision.

Joel 3:15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

Joel 3:16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD [will be] the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.

Joel 3:17 So shall ye know that I [am] the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.

I don't believe this is very good theology. God doesn't appear to have smitten Hitler, Stalin or Mao. Castro is still plugging along. Kim Il Sung is doing fine. Extend list as needed. (Although Francisco Franco is still dead.)

If what you say is true, God appears to have either limited power or very poor aim.

I would, especially if the President of Iran was in his 70s, overweight and out of shape. Robertson is a moron to think he can make such a statement and not get called on it.
