Each week we provide you with one of the week's most thought provoking articles. | |  No cause more pressing than to protect Israel
by Charles Krauthammer, Washington Post Writers Group
Last week, Iran announced it was installing 6,000 more centrifuges — they produce enriched uranium, the key ingredient of a nuclear weapon — in addition to the 3,000 already operating. The world yawned.
It is time to admit the truth: The Bush administration’s attempt to halt Iran’s nuclear program has failed. Utterly. The latest round of U.N. Security Council sanctions is comically weak. The president is going to hand over to his successor an Iran on the verge of going nuclear. This will deeply destabilize the Middle East, threaten the moderate Arabs with Iranian hegemony and leave Israel on hair-trigger alert. This failure can, however, be mitigated. Since there will apparently be no disarming of Iran by pre-emption or by sanctions, we shall have to rely on deterrence to prevent the mullahs, some of whom are apocalyptic and messianic, from using nuclear weapons. During the Cold War, we prevented an attack not only on the United States but also on America’s allies by extending the American nuclear umbrella — i.e., declaring that any attack on our allies would be considered an attack on the United States. Such a threat is never 100 percent credible. Nonetheless, it made the Soviets think twice about attacking our European allies. Continue Reading>> | | One that calls for a Response
Each week we take a meaningful quote, tie it to scripture, and leave you with a take-home. | |  Former President Jimmy Carter said regarding America's refusal to fund Hamas: "Innocent Palestinian people are being treated like animals, with the presumption that they are guilty of some crime. Because they voted for candidates who are members of Hamas, the United States government has become the driving force behind an apparently effective scheme of depriving the general public of income, access to the outside world and the necessities of life."
God says: "I spoke but you did not listen. You did evil in my sight and chose what displeases me...Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: "My servants will eat, but you will go hungry; my servants will drink, but you will go thirsty; my servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame. My servants will sing out of the joy of their hearts, but you will cry out from anguish of heart and wail in brokenness of spirit. You will leave your name to my chosen ones as a curse; the Sovereign LORD will put you to death, but to his servants he will give another name." (Isaiah 65:12-15)
The Jerusalem Connection says: President Carter's attempt to legitimatize the Palestinian Jihadist Hamas is a national embarrassment to the United States and an outrage to Israel. Christian Zionists are agast at the arrogant betrayal of a Southern Baptist Christian. At this Passover season we can take heart by remembering that God saved his people from slavery and persecution in the past and He will in the future. This will be despite the efforts of President Carter and his ilk to destroy Israel and undermine the Jewish people.
