But if Bush is a zealot, certainly Kerry is. If you're organizing protests with Jane Fonda in your youth, that probably puts you well on the path of being a zealot. logical? no whether bush is or isnt a zealot has no bearing on kerry or anyone else for that matter. zealot carries an intrinsic historical religious connotation. the spector of kerry and fonda igniting a shared vision of religious apocalypse is way too funny. <BR

The thing about Bush and zealotry is that there's very little evidence that any rational person IMO is going to find leading them to conclude that he's a zealot here are two excerpts from an essay entitled fundamentally, bush works on faith by peter schweizer and rochelle schweizer, ask bush family members and friends about the intersection between the war on terrorism and george w. bush's christian faith and you ge

"women are supposed to be the 'fairer, gentler sex' not torturers and sadists" i'd like to think that none of us are supposed to be torturers or sadists. in fact, some are. i seriously doubt it's gender specific.

ive only recently discovered ju and im nearly drowning in new content so retro reading has been very limited. ill make a point of trying to find the articles you posted about iraqi history. iraq is, unfortunately, the best recent example of past shaping future. if im understanding you correctly--and i believe i am--we're on the very same page. over the past 25 years, the people responsible for our current meltdown have been trying with varying degre

Zealots have the problem in that they can't see straight. They see one side as ultimately evil and the other side totally justified . excellent observation. exactly the reason why we shouldnt reelect a zealot this year

Reply to Law of Armed Conflict in Current Events JoeUser Forums

id be curious to know about the real-world implications of refusal to follow an illegal order. no matter how many directives and policies are issued to protect whisleblowers in business or government, people who actually go out on a limb because they believe their employer is engaged in illegal activities are taking a big gamble. i'm not trying to question the basis for doing the right thing nor the principle. my current hero is cwo hugh thompson al

overall i think your perception is valid. if rumsfeld had any integrity or sense, he would have followed his list of rules and resigned..but then again, why should he slip off now? i do have a problem with this : A British officer recently complained to the Daily Telegraph, a pro-US paper, 'that Americans don't see the Iraqi people the way that we see them.' They view them as untermenschen, subhuman, a term applied by the Nazis t

near the end of 2000...after sharon incited the intifada that continues to this day...i hadda flash of inspiration while considering the similarities between judaism and islam. there are literally hundreds of laws in the torah governing entry to the temple. one of the main themes is 'clean' vs 'unclean'. the unclean category includes sexual activities as well as menstruation. so i began checking and, just as i expected, found similar 'preparati

there were no political parties during george washingon's administration. people who supported washingtons approach to things eventually were known as federalists. federalists and their allies then became known as democratic republicans and then national republicans became whigs and ulitmately just republicans. antifederalists took over the democratic name when the future republicans stopped using it. hope that dont add to the confusion. <
