            <description><![CDATA[
The Republican candidates have all melted down except John McCain (with Mike Huckabee continuing to play a bit part), and the Democrats are having a virtual tie between Barak Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Who do you want for President of the US now?

            <description><![CDATA[
The thought is nauseating, but what choice is there? On the part of the Democrats, there is Barak, who seems to be a real know-nothing about foreign policy, Edwards (aka "the Breck girl" for his obsession with his hair) who wants to abandon Iraq more shamefully than we abandoned Vietnam, and doesn't seem to know anything about terrorism. The best the Republicans seem to have is Rudy, a guy who may be running for Mayor of the United States of America. Then there is Fred Thompson, who can't seem to make up his mind whether he is really running (oh, no, another actor). So let's see. We follow up a guy who would never have been electable is his <i>father</i> hadn't been President with a gal who never would have been electable if her <i>husband</i> hadn't been President.<br />
<br />
Is it about nothing more than looks, sounds, name-recognition, and money? I guess that we're about proving that democracy works for dummies.

            <title>Saddam Hussein : Can We Do the Christian Thing?</title>
            <link>http://www.dogchurch.org/forum/thread/35</link>
            <description><![CDATA[
The Christian message says that we should judge not that we be not judged. What does this mean in the case of someone like Saddam Hussein who has committed horrendous atrocities?<br />
<br />
I think it means recognising that if we had been given the job of maintaining authoritarian control over the warring parties within Iraq, we would have either committed much the same kinds of atrocities as Hussein or we would have failed in the job. The crimes were crimes inherent in the job he was asked to do, not in the man himself.<br />
<br />
Arenâ€™t those who asked him to do that job equally responsible for his sins? This includes those within Iraq who supported him, and also political and business leaders in other countries such as the United States, Britain and Australia, who helped or supported him in one way or another. In fact we could say they bear an even greater responsibility. At least Hussein had the guts to commit the atrocities himself, rather than employ a deniable intermediary.<br />
<br />
And yet those who asked Hussein to do this job will not hang with him.<br />
<br />
Has Hussein not become a scapegoat for the sins of us all. The sin being our fear of freedom, i.e. anarchy, i.e. the surrender of authority over others.<br />
<br />
Now that Hussein has no power he will no longer need to commit atrocities. But those who are afraid of freedom may support another intermediary like him.<br />
<br />
The government of the United States repeatedly claims that they are the worldâ€™s champions of Freedom, and yet increasingly they enact laws to try to monitor and control the behaviour of their citizens.<br />
<br />
Even if we cannot find it in our hearts to do the Christian thing and forgive Saddam Hussein, let us at least vow to be less like him and catch ourselves when we start to try to tell others what to do.<br />
<br />
Let those who say they believe in Freedom put their money where their mouth is and renounce their authority over others.

            <title>The death of politics</title>
            <link>http://www.dogchurch.org/forum/thread/28</link>
            <description><![CDATA[
Considering the age of posts on this site one might presume that politics has ended.<br />
<br />
I can imagine an 'end of history' like Dr. Fukyama, but I cannot imagine and end of politics. History is neutral and therefore subject to end, but politics is evil and therefore eternal.<br />
<br />
Perhaps it is merely that politics has become uninspired. Condemning fundamentalism is passe and bickering about the war is obvious. Perhaps it is time for the news media to create a new topic of conversation, but it is nearly high summer and I fear that we are doomed to tedium through early September.<br />
<br />
In the interest of provoking comment I will suggest a list of the good, the bad, and the ugly. You are welcome to take issue with this list.<br />
<br />
Good<br />
<br />
War--but only when fought at the right time and for the right reason<br />
<br />
<br />
Bad<br />
<br />
Love--whenever it threatens preconceived notions, like violating the alleged sanctity of marriage. (What is the sanctity of marriage anyway and does a substantial minority even experience it?)<br />
<br />
Ugly<br />
<br />
Republicans

            <title>Mahmoud writes to George</title>
            <link>http://www.dogchurch.org/forum/thread/26</link>
            <description><![CDATA[
iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a notorious Holocaust denier, has written a long, rambling 18-page letter to US President George W. Bush on subjects including Islam, Islamic theology, and Islamic history, and lots of polemics. Not mentioned, it appears, are Iran's ambitions for nuclear weapons. The Bush Administration seems to have no idea how to respond to the letter. It doesn't fit the Western mould. It doesn't get to the point. It raises all kinds of un-related stuff, instead.<br />
<br />
Wrong. It raises the points that Ahmadinejad and the mullahs ruling Iran consider to be crucial, points which must be discussed before we can talk about weapons. Points which must be discussed because failing to discuss them shows unawareness of and disrespect for Islam, in their worldview.<br />
<br />
I think Bush should convene a team of scholars of Islamic history, theology and philosophy, and have them draft a reply to the letter, point by point, indicating where we both agree and disagree with Ahmadinejad, and where we think his interpretations of Islam are blasphemous and wrong. Where we think his actions are evil, according to our best understanding of Islamic tradition.<br />
<br />
The radical Islamists have long been using the Qur'an as their greatest weapon, more powerful than atomic bombs. Let's throw it right back at them.

            <title>Global Warming is Real</title>
            <link>http://www.dogchurch.org/forum/thread/19</link>
            <description><![CDATA[
There is now plenty of evidence and plenty of consensus in the scientific community worldwide that the global climate is warming up, and that human activity -- particularly the burning of fossil fuels -- contributes to it in significant measure. Consider that the lower atmosphere of the earth has been getting measurably warmer, but that the upper atmosphere has not. This indicates that the warming is not primarly caused by the sun getting hotter.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, Mars has been getting warmer, too. Perhaps there is some contribution to a warming climate by a warming sun.<br />
<br />
In any case, we are called to stewardship of the only planet we live on. How should we go about [1] fostering global economic development (the only way to get people to voluntarily use birth control is for them to enjoy a standard of living in which children are a cost rather than an investment), and [2] doing it in such a way that the earth becomes more livable and enjoyable (to all its inhabitants) rather than less?<br />
<br />
Call it Green Globalism. It's a tall order. Now, where to start?

            <description><![CDATA[
Get a load of this week's cover from <i>The Nation</i>, a liberal rag that has no messages other than hate Israel, hate Bush. They think they're so brave for depicting the President of the United States going down a toilet with a stupid expression on his face, which they draw as an ape-like caricature. There was a time in the US when its leaders were accorded a minimum of respect, and common decency would not have permitted this kind of thing.<br />
<br />
The President of Iran is a much worse character, and a real right wing A-hole to boot. But don't hold your breath waiting for <i>The Nation</i> to do a similar cartoon of him. They're just nasty little cowards, all bark, no bite, and run back to master for protection if anyone looks at them twice.

            <title>The trouble with Iran</title>
            <link>http://www.dogchurch.org/forum/thread/9</link>
            <description><![CDATA[
The trouble with Iran is that it is at war with the West. Its first act of war was its invasion of the US Embassy in Tehran on November 4, 1979, and its holding the US diplomatic corps hostage there until January 20, 1981. Perhaps this was a way for Ayatollah Khomeini, Iran's new post-revolutionary Supreme Leader to consolidate his popularity and power in Iran. But technically, an embassy is the sovereign territory of the guest country, in this case the United States. And invading and occupying that territory is technically an act of war.<br />
<br />
The second act of war was Khomeini's <i>fatwa</i> of February 4, 1989, proclaiming death for Salman Rushdie for his fantasy-novel <i>The Satanic Verses</i>. This order, given by a head of state to murder Rushdie, a law-abiding citizen of Great Britain, who was merely exercising his right of free speech, was an act of war against the United Kingdom. Indeed, in that it was intended to cow the rest of the world into submitting to Iran's standards of what one may and may not say about Islamic concepts and persons, it was an act of war against the world in general and the West in particular.<br />
<br />
So Iran has been at war with the US and the world for 26 and 17 years, respectively. Iran's enrichment of uranium to "reactor-grade," is just another step in an old and escalating conflict. No doubt a future step will be Iran's enriching "laboratory quantities" of "weapons-grade" uranium, whether they announce it publicly or not. And then, someday, Iran will have a clandestine stockpile of nuclear weapons, one of which it may test, as a point of honor.<br />
<br />
Because this conflict is about honor, which in honor-shame societies is intimately bound up with power. And in Islamist Fundamentalist thinking, honor-shame is raised to the level of religion. It is made out to be identical with the practice of Islam itself.<br />
<br />
Which brings us to the question of this thread. What ought we to do about Iran?

            <title>The Theologico-Political Problem</title>

            <description><![CDATA[
Conservative religious intellectuals in America seem to have become fond of Leo Strauss and Isaiah Berlin for their having given arguments for including the insights of revealed religion (particularly insights of both&nbsp; orthodox Judaism and orthodox Christianity) in public debate, legislation, and jurisprudence. And they may have a point. But they may also have engaged in a subtle Occidentalism (hatred of the West and Westerners) as evidence by the following quote from Steven J. Lenzner's review of Heinrich Meier's <i>Leo Strauss and the Theologico-Political Problem</i>:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="quote"><div class="quote_inner">Liberalism, according to Schmitt, was above all a rejection of the political, the characteristic distinction of which he held to be the division into "friends" and "enemies." Such a life - lacking in the passion and committment that would lead one to die for a cause - seemed to Schmitt a rejection of all that was high and vital in man. .... Strauss was no more attracted to a debased liberalism than was Schmitt, but he sought not to negate it, but to ascend from it.<br />
</div></blockquote><br />
This charge that bourgeois liberalism lacks authenticity because it lacks passion, this strife-seeking in the name of a higher cause (for Schmitt any cause, for Strauss the cause of God) echoes the sentiment that underlies the self-hatred of Western intellectuals for the same West that underlies their intellectual tradition.<br />
<br />
I have yet to read any of Strauss' writings, or those of Berlin. But I fear that they tread on dangerous ground, that may not be so far separated from the current enemies of the West, who also believe they are acting in the name of revealed religion. In any case, I would appreciate any insight and guidance as to where to start, and what to select from their large corpus of writings.

            <title>The Jihad Next Door</title>
            <link>http://www.dogchurch.org/forum/thread/1</link>
            <description><![CDATA[
Yesterday, I went to a lecture on Islamic Fundamentalism and Terrorism by Rabbi <a href="http://www.sdjewishjournal.com/stories/cover_may04.html" title="http://www.sdjewishjournal.com/stories/cover_may04.html">Arthur Zuckerman</a>. He talked about what the US could learn from Israel in regard to living with repeated attacks using Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). Some are vehicle-borne (VBIEDs) like that used by Tim McVeigh to bomb the Murrah building. Some are deposited where they can do the most cruel damage, like the bomb hidden in the bottom tray of a birdcage so that it can blow shrapnel through the child that picks it up, as well as everyone nearby. Or like the bomb hidden in a hollowed out melon to kill her mother and her fellow shoppers getting groceries for the evening meal. And then there is the human-guided IED, popularly mis-named the suicide bomber.<br />
<br />
These folks are not merely mis-guided. These folks are evil.<br />
<br />
In particular, they pervert the Word of God to make it justify their actions. Why? Because they are from an honor/shame culture in which the lowest thing a man can be is powerless, and the only way for a man to redeem himself is through acts of power. Since the ultimate power is that of life-and-death, killing is what they do. They believe this brings honor to God, and honor to Islam. And that bringing this honor guarantees them a place in heaven.<br />
<br />
So, despite the list of grievances that Michael Scheuer claims the Islamofacists (or Jihaddicts) use to recruit new members, their goal is not the redress of these grievances. All honor is due to Allah, and they will not stop until everyone worships Him in the proper manner, or acknowledges the dominion of those who do. They are not trying to get the West to leave them alone. They are not trying to stop Globalization. They are trying to dictate its terms.<br />
<br />
And they are bringing their war here. As if 9/11, the Madrid bombings, and the London Underground bombings were not enough. Rabbi Zuckerman showed videos of no less than six Imams preaching violent jihad against all non-Muslims. One of them even reminded his male listeners to attend firearms shooting practice after the prayer-service. And they were all preaching in mosques in American cities.<br />
<br />
It seems that not all American Muslims are looking out for America.
