			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Thanks so much Daniel. You are wise beyond your years. Have we in our trying to hang on to the old testament teachings hindered the good news of Jesus Christ? Did Jesus Christ give us a revelation contradictory to and above the teachings of the OT law? Didn&#8217;t Jesus cleanse away all of that condemnation of the law for us to live under the forgiveness, mercy, and grace that Jesus revealed to us as the Word of God? Can it be that the chosen people have moved from the Jews to &#8220;All who love God with their whole being and their neighbors as themselves have eternal life&#8221; and are the chosen ones of God? Wasn&#8217;t St. Paul converted to this on the road to Damascus? Didn&#8217;t Jesus say that we can&#8217;t pour new wine into old wine skins? The sad thing Daniel is that we have so many preachers and teachers keeping Jesus on the cross of the Law instead of the resurrection through the HOLY SPIRIT (the 2nd coming which is already happening?). We helped Israel re-establish their country, but they did not keep the agreement. The Palestinians were to have certain boundaries in which to build their own country which the Jews have overridden. GOD&#8217;S PEOPLE ARE THOSE WHO LOVE GOD WITH THEIR WHOLE BEING AND THEIR NEIGHBORS AS THEMSELVES. GOD IS NOT RACIST, AS ST. PAUL STATED. For much more on this click on: <a href="http://www.westarinstitute.org/" target="_self">http://www.westarinstitute.org/</a> <a href="http://" target="_self"> </a>Daniel, there is so much history I have researched over the years to find God&#8217;s will that can&#8217;t presented in one email. I know you will search to know the truth and the truth will set you free. Thanks, I think its unbelievable that things can&#8217;t get done without pork spending. Here we are with over 8% unemployment, and people losing jobs. That just shows the greed that is there no matter what issue congress is dealing with. I was talking with another Christian brother last night about the issues. We brought up the issue that; a lot of athiest and the rest of the world believe that the Bible can&#8217;t relate to the issues of today. What&#8217;s ironic is that everything that our country struggles with, homosexual, sex,greed, racism etc. all existed in the biblical time. &#8220;There&#8217;s nothing new under the sun.&#8221; At the same time our founding fathers did the best they could to set up the constitution under biblical standards. I was reading a passage today out of a daily positive thinking book. It starts off with LEVITICUS 19:1-2. Then says &#8220;Think what might be accomplished in the United States if only a few of the best young people among us would have the revolutionary spirit their forefathers had and would determine, This great fair land shall not be destroyed. We&#8217;ll make it clean, so that high leadership for the future may be certain and sure. If all the men and women in this country who profess belief in God would live clean lives and would set those lives against the decay of our time, they would be contributing to a moral revolution. That is what built this country&#8217;s splendor, power and prestige&#8221; I didn&#8217;t mean to make it this long, but I thought it was important.</p>
<p>Re: PORK IN THE NEW BUDGET IS ONLY 2% OF THE TOTAL BUDGET&#8230;</p>
<p>Thanks for asking about the source. Below find part of the article and the source. Most politicians know very little about economics. YET, THEY SPEAK AS THOUGH THEY WERE EXPERTS. WE HAVE A PROBLEM IN THE USA. TOO MANY AMERICANS THINK THAT THE LOUDER AND MORE CONTROVERSIAL A PERSON SPEAKS THE MORE AUTHORITY HE/SHE HAS. YET, WHEN THEY HAVE A THREATENING DISEASE THEY DON&#8217;T GO TO A PREACHER OR WITCH DOCTOR. THEY WANT TO HEAR FROM THE EXPERT THAT CAN CURE THEIR DISEASE. WE HAVE GONE THE OPPOSITE OF OUR WELL READ, EDUCATED FOREFATHERS WHO I BELIEVE WERE INSPIRED BY THE ETERNAL ULTIMATE OF ALL WISDOM TO LEAD US TO BE THE SOURCE OF &#8220;GIVE ME YOUR TIRED, YOUR POOR, YOUR HUDDLED MASSES TO BE FREE&#8221; TO A MAJORITY OF OUR CITIZENS REJECTING EDUCATING THEMSELVES, TO TRUST AND BELIEVE IN IDIOTIC SNAKE OIL SELLING POLITICIANS, PREACHERS, STOCK BROKERS, ETC. WHO PROMISED THEM WHAT THEY WANTED TO HEAR AND TOOK THEIR FORTUNES AWAY. -mackie</p>
<p>Following is the source: Washington Member projects – aka earmarks or “pork” – account for less than 2 percent of spending in the $410 billion omnibus bill on the floor of the Senate this week, but they’re drawing most of the opposition fire. The bill, which will fund government for the balance of the 2009 fiscal year, includes 8,570 earmarks worth $7.7 billion, according to a new report by Taxpayers for Common Sense in Washington. “I just went through a campaign where both candidates promised change in Washington; promised change from the wasteful, disgraceful, corrupting practice of earmark, pork-barrel spending,” said Sen. John McCain in a stem-winder on the floor of the Senate on Monday. “We have former members of Congress residing in federal prisons. Not only is this business as usual, but this is an outrageous insult to the American people,” said the Arizona Republican. At issue is more than just the dollar amount of spending, critics say. The time and effort to secure earmarks for 1 or 2 percent of government spending take up time that members could better spend on the hard work of overseeing the other 98 percent-plus. Moreover, the success of some groups in securing earmarks encourages others to spend scarce public dollars to pay to lobby Washington.

<p>Re: PORK IN THE NEW BUDGET IS ONLY 2% OF THE TOTAL BUDGET&#8230; Where did you get this information? That is a little hard=2 0to believe.. I don&#8217;t think our corrupt government is unselfish enough to only have 2% pork. I was reading a statement made by a Chinese spokesman today saying, that the president of China and U.S. President have had good conversations on the phone. They also said that both presidents are looking for ways to improve China, U.S. relations. Which have been rocky here recently. This is crucial, because I believe China plays a big role in our economic recovery. It is also crucial, because of tensions with North Korea. I think this is one of the most important challenges to our president. Both countries need to respect eachothers cultural and policy differences. It&#8217;s a bad day for the rest of the world if the U.S. and China don&#8217;t get along.</p>
<p>CAN YOU BE BELIEVE ALL THIS CONDEMNATION OF 2% PORK IS HOLDING UP HELPING PEOPLE SAVE THEIR HOMES, JOBS, SANITY, FAMILI ES, PENSIONS, HEALTH CARE, ETC.?</p>

<div><span style="font-family:Palatino Linotype;">In case you are still a little uncertain about how the financial &#8220;crisis&#8221; came about, this little story will help you understand the nature of the beast.</span></div>
<div style="font:10pt arial;">
<div> </div>
</div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;"> This explains the <span class="yshortcuts">financial crisis</span> in easy terms. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">  </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">Heidi is the proprietor of a bar in <span class="yshortcuts">Berlin</span>. In order to increase sales, she decides to allow her loyal customers &#8211; most of whom are unemployed alcoholics &#8211; to drink now but pay later. She keeps track of the drinks consumed on a ledger (thereby granting her customers loans).  </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">Word gets around and as a result increasing numbers of customers flood into Heidi&#8217;s bar.  </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">Taking advantage of her customers&#8217; freedom from immediate payment constraints, Heidi increases her prices for wine and beer, the most-consumed beverages. Her sales volume increases massively. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">  </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">A young and <span class="yshortcuts">dynamic customer service</span> consultant at the local bank recognizes these customer debts as valuable future assets and increases Heidi&#8217;s borrowing limit. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">  </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">He sees no reason for undue concern since he has the debts of the alcoholics as collateral. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">  </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">At the bank&#8217;s <span class="yshortcuts"><span class="yshortcuts" style="cursor:hand;border-bottom:#0066cc 1px dashed;">corporate  headquarters</span></span>, expert bankers transform these customer assets into DRINKBONDS, ALKBONDS and PUKEBONDS. These securities are then traded on markets worldwide. No one really understands what these abbreviations mean and how the securities are guaranteed. Nevertheless, as their prices continuously climb, the securities become top-selling items. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">  </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">One day, although the prices are still climbing, a <span class="yshortcuts"><span class="yshortcuts">risk manager</span></span> (subsequently of course fired due his negativity) of the bank decides that slowly the time has come to demand payment of the debts incurred by the drinkers at Heidi&#8217;s bar. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">  </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">However they cannot pay back the debts. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">  </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">Heidi cannot fulfil her loan obligations and claims bankruptcy. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">  </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">DRINKBOND and ALKBOND drop in price by 95 %. PUKEBOND performs better, stabilizing in price after dropping by 80 %. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">  </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">The suppliers of Heidi&#8217;s bar, having granted her generous payment due dates and having invested in the  securities are faced with a new situation. Her wine supplier claims bankruptcy, her beer supplier is taken over by a competitor. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">  </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">The bank is saved by the Government following dramatic round-the-clock consultations by leaders from the governing political parties. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">  </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">The funds required for this purpose are obtained by a tax levied on the non-drinkers. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">  </span></div>

<p>A RESPONSE:</p></div>
<div>Very interesting.  You could also include the greed of our politicians, the relaxing of controls on the free market by our previous administration which in time of crisis encouraged us to spend more when the safest plan for us was to save more, the rewarding of companies to outsource overseas, the raping of our social security fund by Congress borrowing funds from it, AND MOST OF ALL, ELECTING POLITICIANS WHO ARE OPPOSITE OUR FOREFATHERS.  </div>
<div> </div>
<div>MOST OF OUR FOREFATHERS KNEW AT LEAST 2 LANGUAGES, STUDIED AND UNDERSTOOD WORLD GOVERNMENTS AND HISTORY, LOCAL GOVERNMENT, CULTURE AND FAMILY HISTORY, WORKED PART-TIME, AND LOOKED OUT FOR THE COMMON PERSON.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong><span style="font-size:large;">&#8220;IF WE DON&#8217;T KNOW OUR HISTORY WE WILL REPEAT IT.&#8221;</span> </strong></div>
<div><strong></strong> </div>
<div><strong>Thank God our forefathers, doctors, and scientists built their theories on the history of their predecessors.</strong></div>
<div><strong></strong> </div>
<div><strong>The problem with no child left behind is:</strong></div>
<div><strong></strong> </div>
<div><strong>    1) We don&#8217;t fund it</strong></div>
<div><strong>    2) Besides reading, writing and arithmetic they need to understand (history) how we got here             and </strong></div>
<div><strong>    3) They need to be supported and required to accumulate this knowledge.</strong></div>
<div><strong></strong> </div>
<div><strong><span style="font-size:large;">&#8220;INSANITY IS DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND </span></strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-size:large;">EXPECTING A DIFFERENT RESULT.&#8221;</span></strong></div>
<div><strong></strong> </div>
<div><strong><span style="font-size:large;">I&#8217;M NOT TALKING COLLEGE EDUCATION, BUT ANYONE WHO VIEWS ALL SIDES AND FROM HIS INNER BEING (the soul filled with the Being of all Wisdom) and without biases chooses the one he thinks best.</span></strong></div>
<div><strong></strong> </div>
<div><strong><span style="font-size:large;">IF WE LET CAPITALISM RULE DEMOCRACY WE ARE DONE.</span></strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong><span style="font-size:large;">AS OUR FOREFATHERS STATED:</span></strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong><span style="font-size:large;">WE MUST GUARANTEE LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS TO ALL.</span></strong> </div>

Is it possible to cultivate genius? In the modern era, Immanuel Kant and Darwin &#8217;s cousin Francis Galton wrote extensively about how genius occurs.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:20.1pt;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:12.5pt;font-family:Georgia;">Is it possible to cultivate genius? In the modern era, <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#003366;"><span class="yshortcuts" style="background:none transparent scroll repeat 0 0;cursor:hand;border-bottom:medium none;">Immanuel Kant</span></span></span> and <span class="yshortcuts" style="cursor:hand;border-bottom:#0066cc 1px dashed;">Darwin &#8217;s cousin <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#003366;">Francis Galton</span></span></span> wrote extensively about how genius occurs. The latest, and possibly most comprehensive, entry into this genre is Dean Keith Simonton&#8217;s new book <em><span class="yshortcuts" style="cursor:hand;border-bottom:#0066cc 1px dashed;">Genius</span> 101: Creators, Leaders, and Prodigies</em> (Springer Publishing Co., 227 pages). (<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#003366;">See pictures of <span class="yshortcuts" style="background:none transparent scroll repeat 0 0;cursor:hand;border-bottom:medium none;">Albert Einstein</span>.</span></span>)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:20.1pt;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:12.5pt;font-family:Georgia;">For most of its history, the debate over what leads to genius has been dominated by a bitter, binary argument: is it nature or is it nurture — is genius genetically inherited, or are geniuses the products of stimulating and supportive homes? Simonton takes the reasonable position that geniuses are the result of both good genes and good surroundings. (<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#003366;">Read TIME&#8217;s 2007 cover story, &#8220;Are We Failing Our <span class="yshortcuts">Geniuses</span>?&#8221;</span></span>)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:20.1pt;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:12.5pt;font-family:Georgia;">There are IQ tests, of course, but not all <span class="yshortcuts" style="background:none transparent scroll repeat 0 0;cursor:hand;border-bottom:#0066cc 1px dashed;">IQ tests</span> are the same, which leads to picking a minimum IQ and calling it genius-level. So Simonton falls back on his &#8220;intelligence, enthusiasm, and endurance&#8221; formulation. Would you be the genius? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:12.5pt;font-family:Georgia;">Gladwell featured Ericsson&#8217;s work prominently in <em>Outliers</em>. Gladwell is a believer. Simonton rather dismissively calls this the &#8220;drudge theory.&#8221; In a 2002 study, Simonton showed that the average IQ of 64 eminent scientists was around 150, fully 50 points higher than the average IQ for the general population. Simonton writes that geniuses tend to be &#8220;open to experience, introverted, hostile, driven, and ambitious.&#8221; </span></p>

<p> (a summary)</p>
<p> Was Jesus a Buddhist? Certainly he was many things&#8211;Jew, prophet, healer, moralist, revolutionary, by his own admission the Messiah, and for most Christians the <span class="yshortcuts">Son of God</span> and redeemer of their sins. And there is <span class="yshortcuts" style="background:none transparent scroll repeat 0 0;cursor:hand;border-bottom:medium none;">convincing evidence that</span> he was also a Buddhist. The evidence follows two independent lines&#8211;the first is historical, and the second is textual. Historical evidence indicates that Jesus was well acquainted with Buddhism. If Jesus did not go to India, then at least India went to <span class="yshortcuts">Judea</span> and Jesus. The real historical question is not if he studied Buddhism, but where and how much he studied Buddhism, especially during his so-called &#8220;lost years.&#8221;</p>
<p>Historical accounts aside, many textual analyses indicate striking similarities between what was said by Jesus and by <span class="yshortcuts" style="cursor:hand;border-bottom:#0066cc 1px dashed;">Buddha</span> and between the prophetic legend of Jesus and ancient <span class="yshortcuts">Buddhist texts</span>. The conclusion is that, although not identifying himself as a Buddhist for good reasons, Jesus spoke like a Buddhist. The similarities are so striking that, even if no historical evidence existed, we can suspect that Jesus studied Buddhist teachings and that the prophecy and legend of Jesus was derived from Buddhist stories.</p>

<div></div>
<div>I correspond frequently with a few friends of mine who helped&nbsp;me formulate and carry out a tremendous event&nbsp;in the late 70s that is still benefiting many people today.&nbsp; We raised 100s of thousands of dollars and employed an experienced, successful designer who was concerned about our cause, was of like mind, and tolerated our ignorance.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>I still hope our vision will come to fruition in helping everyone, regardless of problem, addiction, religion or race to find their pursuit of true happiness through their <span class="yshortcuts">higher power</span> as demonstrated through us.&nbsp; It may be a day care center for children, seniors, the handicapped, an addiction center, a place to stay the night, a soup kitchen, a parking lot for people to sleep in their&nbsp;cardboard boxes, cars, vans or trailers, &nbsp;an attorney to plead their cases, or any other problem.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>I am a Christian by brand all because I found the ultimate, eternal cause through the teachings of Jesus.&nbsp; BUT, I HAVE &nbsp;ALSO FOUND THAT THIS ETERNAL BEING HAS REVEALED HIMSELF THROUGH OTHER FAITHS.&nbsp; NO ONE RELIGION HAS A CORNER ON THIS ETERNAL CAUSE.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>CONCERNING THE STIMULUS, WE HAVE TO SEEK OUT THE ADVICE OF THOSE WHO ARE LEARNED IN THIS FIELD, WHO ARE EXPERIENCED IN IT, LEARNED BY <span class="yshortcuts" style="background:none transparent scroll repeat 0 0;cursor:hand;border-bottom:medium none;">TRIAL AND ERROR</span> AND HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR ENDEAVORS.&nbsp; WE DON&#8217;T WANT A <span class="yshortcuts">WITCH DOCTOR</span> OR RELIGION TO TELL US WHAT IS BEST FOR US IN A MEDICAL SITUATION. WE WANT THE DOCTOR WHO HAS THE MOST TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE IN OUR PARTICULAR PROBLEM.&nbsp; IT&#8217;S NOT WHAT WE BELIEVE RELIGIOUSLY, BUT HOW EXPERT IS THIS DOCTOR IN HELPING US TO BE CURED, RIGHT?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>OUR GREATEST HOPE IN ANY SITUATION IS TO SEEK THE ADVICE AND COUNSEL OF THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN TRAINED AND SUCCESSFUL IN OUR PROBLEM, WOULDN&#8217;T YOU SAY?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><span class="yshortcuts">CRABS</span> CAUGHT IN CRAB TRAPS DO A RATHER NATURAL, SELFISH THING.&nbsp; IF A CRAB TRIES TO CRAWL TO THE TOP TO ESCAPE, THE OTHER CRABS PULL THE AGGRESSIVE CRAB DOWN SO THAT HE WILL NOT SURVIVE.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>THE EXPERTS ARE THE ONLY THING WE HAVE.&nbsp; WE MIGHT NOT SUCCEED, BUT TO DO NOTHING WILL MAKE IT WORSE, DON&#8217;T YOU THINK?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Under the Senate version of the economic recovery package, older Americans on fixed incomes will receive economic relief similar to that given to younger workers. As you know, this senior payment provision was not in the House passed package. Please urge the conferees to hold this provision in any final Conference Report.</p>
<p>In addition, you can demonstrate your support for these crucial provisions in the economic recovery legislation by cosponsoring The Safeguarding America&#8217;s Seniors and Veterans Act of 2009, H.R. 746, which would help give real relief to the older Americans hit the hardest by the crisis.</p>
<p>Older Americans have been particularly impacted by the economic crisis and this bill will ensure that at least 26 million individuals get the real relief they deserve. By cosponsoring this bill, you would show your support for retirees who are struggling to make ends meet, and help make a statement that you will not leave older Americans behind as our economy gets back on track.</p>
<p>Please support this much-needed economic relief payment for individuals 65 and older who no longer work and are therefore not eligible for a Make Work Pay credit.</p>
<p>Thank you for standing strong for older Americans, and people of all generations, by urging support for the senior payment in the final economic stimulus package, and by cosponsoring The Safeguarding America&#8217;s Seniors and Veterans Act of 2009, H.R. 746.</p>

<div class="byline">By JOSEPH LOCONTE</div>
<div id="articleBody">
<p>Everyone, it seems, wants Jesus on his side. Nutritionists publish books with titles like &#8221;What Would Jesus Eat?&#8221; Environmentalists issue policy statements asking &#8221;What Would Jesus Drive?&#8221; With talk of war, we&#8217;re now hearing &#8221;How Would Jesus Vote on Iraq?&#8221; &#8212; assuming that he were a member of the United Nations Security Council.</p>
<p>A growing number of religious leaders have decided that Jesus would veto a war against Saddam Hussein. Back from a fact-finding trip to Iraq earlier this month, a delegation from the National Council of Churches said it harbored no doubts: &#8221;As disciples of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, we know this war is completely antithetical to his teachings.&#8221; The Christian Century magazine, quoting from the Sermon on the Mount, has criticized military action by warning that &#8221;he who hates his neighbor is in danger of hellfire.&#8221;</p>
<p>Religious liberals are making the same mistake that often bedevils religious conservatives: They&#8217;re grossly oversimplifying the Bible. It&#8217;s true that Jesus put the love of neighbor at the center of Christian ethics. Forgiveness, not vengeance, animates the heart of God, offered freely to any person willing to renounce sin. But the Christian Gospel is not only about &#8221;the law of love,&#8221; as war opponents like to put it. It&#8217;s also about the fact that people violate that law.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why Jesus talked a great deal about punishment, and the moral obligation to oppose evil with a strong and swift hand. Human evil must be confronted, he said, not merely contained. Depending on the threat, a kind of &#8221;pre-emptive strike&#8221; or judgment against evil might even be required: &#8221;Be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in hell&#8221; (Matthew 10:28). Allow the darkness to roam unchecked, Jesus said, and it will devour individuals and entire regimes. That helps explain why in the New Testament we see the Son of God rebuking hateful mobs, casting demons into the abyss, chasing religious charlatans out of a temple with a whip. &#8221;Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth,&#8221; he said. &#8221;I did not come to bring peace, but a sword&#8221; (Matthew 10:34).</p>
<p>Ministers have always invoked the example of Jesus to judge the morality of United States military action, but not always with their eyes open. The Rev. Ernest Fremont Tittle, a Methodist leader during World War II, insisted on American isolation even after Hitler&#8217;s war machine had ravaged most of Europe and threatened Britain. Jesus &#8221;does not try to overcome evil with more evil,&#8221; Mr. Tittle argued. &#8221;I can see only ruin ahead if the United States becomes a belligerent in Europe or in Asia &#8212; ruin for us and for all mankind.&#8221;</p>
<p>Like Mr. Tittle, many of today&#8217;s war critics hail Jesus as &#8221;the Prince of Peace,&#8221; while forgetting that the Bible also calls him &#8221;the Lion of the tribe of Judah,&#8221; the one &#8221;who judges and wages war.&#8221; In itself, that&#8217;s not an argument for a pre-emptive strike on Baghdad. But it&#8217;s a good reason for a little more humility among the apostles of diplomacy.</p>
