Oh yeah, Bush is just so popular among the jihadis.
The best example I can give you is the good old USA being allies with Russia during WWII, Sometimes the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
America, under Republican leadership, has forfeited any claim to be the protector of the Christians.
Now we are back to that American Exceptionalism you sneered at. You are just wrong.
It falls to Russia and mark my words, the entire Orthodox and Latin Catholic world will be behind that.
Your frustration with the terrible things that have happened to the EOC has really clouded your thinking.
If your looking to Russia you need to open your eyes. They are imploding right in front of us. Their birth rates are about 1.3 per couple. The only part of their population that is growing is the muslim population. They have depopulated huge areas of Siberia.
Militarily, they are a joke. Why do you think they are so opposed to a missile shield? Could it have anything to do with the reality that the only thing they can project power with is missiles. Their training of troops is terrible. They don't have the means to transport troops anywhere. Their navy is rusting out underneath them.
The only thing Russia has is natural resources. They have no history of protecting the rights of individuals, no history of protecting the freedom to worship God. So why would you want to abandon the one super power in the history of man that places God given human rights above all else for this. Is it you long for the days when church and state were one? The days when the ruler determined the religion of the nation?
I rather compete for believers with Bible in hand and THE GOSPEL in my heart.
“Oh yeah, Bush is just so popular among the jihadis.”
Well, the KLA jihadis in Kosovo plan to put his picture and that of Clinton on the first stamps issued by their little terror state. There are huge Stalinist style pictures of Clinton and Bush in downtown Pristina. I’d say that makes him popular. They already are calling him the godfather of their new statelet.
“Sometimes the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
I don’t doubt that one minute when it comes to Bush. This administration does view Orthodox Christians as its enemies and thus its alliance with Mohammedan terror in the Balkans. The same likely applies to Bush handing over $500,000,000.00 to Fatah, except the Orthodox enemies there are already marginalized. There its those pesky Jews which his royal Saudi buddies hate so much. And of course any enemy of Saudi Wahabism is an enemy of George Bush.
