The Evangelical determination to continue this war, which I understand from all that I read is simply a way to protect Israel in some kind of a religious Crusade that they believe is foretold in the Bible, is simply a hoax. One can translate the Bible in many different ways, especially Revelation, where the meanings are not clear and the rhetoric is sometimes confusing.
That they would trade American lives for such nonsense is something I find disgusting. Yet, so few of the children of wealthy Evangelicals are serving in the military. "College first" is their way of avoiding combat, and we all know that, by that time, this war will be ended, because a majority of Americans, including moderate Republicans, want to end it.
Debates won't change their minds. Common sense or compassion are lost on them. They are religious zealots and our nation is being led to both moral and financial disaster because of them. Even many churches are turning their backs on this kind of belief.
