You Want an Apocalypse?

Neo-Cons and religious nuts want chaos in the Middle East in order to hasten the return on capital or else the return of Christ--and maybe they're the same thing nowadays. Israel now is saying it could pull a pre-emptive strike on Iran, likely triggering a region-wide nuclear conflict that would be, like, totally RAD.

There's only one way to receive news like that: Let's get it on. Two can play at this game: speaking for liberals everywhere, I say bring on the Apocalypse if it removes forever the stain of the political state of Israel from the landscape.

Pat Robertson wants war in the Middle East because when Solomon's temple is rebuilt on the Temple Mount, Jesus will return. Neo-Cons want war in the Middle East because it will bring about the ascendancy of the American global corporate state, and usher in another American Century (which is really just corporate interests writ large, but why not call it "American"?).

As liberals, we should also seek total annihilation of the Middle East, because once that's done, we can get on with governing the civilized world and making the nation responsive to the needs of Americans, not the Zionists. One strain of Marxism held that the worse things became, the better it was, because it brought the world closer to the communist revolution. If the evangelicals and PNAC wankers can have their versions of the Rapture, then here's another one.

Communism may not be the end result of war in the Middle East, but the severance of our irrational ties to Israel could be. The effect of that is the reinstatement of logical policy and it brings the United States one step closer to permanent rejection of neoconservatism and religious fundamentalism (which, of course, is anything but fundamentally sound).

My God is the God of vengeance, and he's looking to gut a Republican or two.
