Condoleezza Rice does not disagree. While Colin Powell sees the world in more secular tones — nuanced and in shades of gray — Dr. Rice and the president sing from the same hymnbook. If they are right about the contagion of freedom, they may unleash a movement that can positively affect more people than the collapse of the Soviet Union. If they are wrong — and the evidence is far heavier on this side of the argument — the consequences, to borrow a theological term with which they are familiar, could be Armageddon.

3. These locusts were in Egypt last week. I guess they are doing the grand

5. I'm sure freedom IS contagious
But assuming it goes hand in hand with forced western style democracy is a dangerous assumption.
Especially when we insist on English speaking puppets for candidates.

6. Why do I think that Cal Thomas was smiling as he said "Armageddon"?
People like Cal Thomas really do cause me to suspect that there may really be a Hell - for people like him.

7. Ahaaa, so does Cal Thomas thing Condi Rice is a good choice or...
...not a good choice? For that matter does Cal Thomas think Bush is a good choice or not for president when dealing with affairs in the middle east? I sure wish old Cal would get off of the political fence even though he is a journalist. Armageddon as brought on by man's stupidity does not sound like a good alternative.

8. Cal is actually very pro-Armageddon

Unreconstructed Dispensationalist, through and through.

He can't mention that in his columns though. It's apparently okay now, though. Jesus said we can lie if we need to. Seriously heard that from a right winger just last week.
