Defining the boundaries of Israel, from the Euphrates to the Nile, was not a 16th century plot, but a biblical prophecy promised by God to those going into Babylonian exile as a future hope. The real 'Secret of Armageddon' is that Islamists have chosen Allah over the LORD Almighty and the showdown will be rather dramatic on the world stage.

A senior U.S. official says American and European representatives have met with Arab countries worried about Iran's influence in the Mideast. Should have thought about that before attempting to kill 100,000 New Yorkers.
The official says foreign ministers from several Arab countries met with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana and French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner.
A participant in Sunday's meeting says Arabs are worried about any potential deal on Iran's nuclear program that would give the Persian country more power in the Mideast. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks were confidential.

Useful idiots, now a feared enemy.
Its such an old story in them parts.
Iran's confrontational attitude toward the rest of the world is costing the country dearly in lost trade and investment, according to a letter signed by 60 economists published on Saturday.
The open letter, the latest addressed to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and published by the semi-official Ilna news agency, denounced the "heavy price paid by the country over the negative consequences of government policy."
In particular, it spoke of the "misguided trade policy and the policy of tension with the rest of the world, which has deprived Iran of opportunities for trade and foreign investment."
It said the sanctions imposed by the U.N. Security Council over Iran's refusal to halt uranium enrichment had added billions of dollars in extra costs to the country's foreign trade.
The letter, signed by economists from major universities around the country, criticizes what it calls "extremist idealism," an "undue haste in acting" and the "absence of cost assessment on economic programs."
Ahmadinejad swept to power in 2005 on a populist campaign of ploughing huge amounts of cash into local infrastructure and granting low-interest business loans to create jobs.
He has come under fire over those policies, and that has resulted in several key economic figures being sacked, including the central bank head and economy minister.
Economists have lamented a focus on encouraging consumption that has seen imports surge, rather than investing in domestic industry and saving for the future.
