 The paradox I find interesting is that Bush's appeal includes these 
 "security moms" who want a safe, snug world for themselves and their 
 families, but it also includes the people who want a global armageddon 
 ASAP. 
  
 Ultimately, one or the other of those constituencies is bound to be 
 disappointed, don't you think?

 First we gotta have a Third Temple on the Mount.  And right now the 
 Arabs control the Mount, and they've got their own holiest-of-holies 
 claim on the place.  So, the Jews are gonna have to go up there and 
 level whatever the Arabs have built and construct their own 
 magnificant edifice in order to fulfill Christian prophecy. 
  
 That's why the U.S. fundies are pushing for Bush.  He's creating an 
 environment of chaos in the Middle East, which they hope will broaden 
 out into a global holy war between Judeo-Christianity and Islam. 
 Islam will lose, the Temple will get built, and the Millenium will 
 commence. 
  
 But of course the Jews will need ashes from this perfect red heifer to 
 daub on the workers who eventually go up to the Mount to build the 
 Temple, because otherwise Jews can't go there in the first place. 
 Rules are rules.  The good news for the Armageddon set is that a 
 suitable heifer has now been produced and will reach sacrificial age 
 in a year or so.
