I think an American President trying to cut a deal and empower a murderous regime makes war in the Middle East more probable.

Kind of relevant to "true motives" and oddly appropriate.During World War II some Catholic Churches took in Jewish children as orphans and raised them as Catholic. Madame Albright was one such who had no idea she was Jewish until rather elderly. My own mother doubted whether that was truly a good deed because conversion being then (and now?) an important (and hardly philo-Semitic) aim of the Church, she saw Jewish souls stolen and I saw Jewish bodies saved. Which side are you on? |

It seems to be overwhelmingly progressives who believe the only options are war or a bad deal.Progressives are very aware of a third and a 4th option: 3. No deal at all, continued sanctions, no supervision of Iran at all, and Iran goes full speed ahead to make nuclear weapons. 4. A so-so deal that very much slows down Iran's ability to make a weapon, but doesn't give 100% guarantees. Of course, if Iran turns out to be obstinate, we will end up with #3 anyway. We can't prevent #3. The trouble with #3 is the risk that it turns into #1 at a later date. |

It's harder for them to go full speed with sanctions we know were putting them in a severe bind.And consider #3a. Even as we speak, Iran is continuing in their non-nuclear aggressions in pursuit of power. On #4. Another word for "slowing down" is "kick the can down the road." Chamberlain slowed down Hitler for a year. Stalin for two years. Germany used the time to become stronger; built in to the Iran deal is that won't become weaker military, but will become stronger economically. If they break any deal, what are we going to do then? Go to War? Isn't that what Progressives say we shouldn't do? Actually, you alluded to that when you said #3 can become #1. Of course that is unlikely to happen on Obama's watch. |

But once he was gone the Church had an obligation to make a path available whereby the children became Jewish again.Well, that didn't happen. So was what the church did bad? Or was it doing the right thing for the wrong reason? And if some evangelicals are supporting Jews and Israel at a critical point in time for a "wrong" reason, should Jews get on their high horse (to echo President Obama's borrowed phrased) and say "no, we will only let you support us for the right reason? You know some Jews (and some Christians--look at the Mideast now) would die rather be forced to convert. So should those Jewish parents in World War II have refused to let their children go into that convent and be raised Catholic? Or should they have allowed their children to die pure? This was not a theoretical question. |
