On July 16, I attended Christians United for Israel's annual Washington-Israel Summit. Founded by San Antonio-based megachurch pastor John Hagee, CUFI has added the grassroots muscle of the Christian right to the already potent Israel lobby. Hagee and his minions have forged close ties with the Bush White House and members of Congress from Sen. Joseph Lieberman to Sen. John McCain. In its call for a unilateral military attack on Iran and the expansion of Israeli territory, CUFI has found unwavering encouragement from traditional pro-Israel groups like AIPAC and elements of the Israeli government.

But CUFI has an ulterior agenda: its support for Israel derives from the belief of Hagee and his flock that Jesus will return to Jerusalem after the battle of Armageddon and cleanse the earth of evil. In the end, all the non-believers - Jews, Muslims, Hindus, mainline Christians, etc. - must convert or suffer the torture of eternal damnation. Over a dozen CUFI members eagerly revealed to me their excitement at the prospect of Armageddon occurring tomorrow. Among the rapture ready was Republican Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. None of this seemed to matter to Lieberman, who delivered a long sermon hailing Hagee as nothing less than a modern-day Moses. Lieberman went on to describe Hagee's flock as "even greater than the multitude Moses commanded."

nuts and leave us alone already.

5. Lieberman is dangerously crazy.

And the way that high profile American "Christians" and Jews play each other over Israel makes me realize that this is where the real ideological/theological battleground lies. Muslims are just victims of geology and geography.

10. I agree. He's mentally ill. nt

7. Lieberman is quickly morphing into Zell Miller.

I'll be shocked if he (Lieberman) doesn't' speak at the '08 Republican National Convention.

All of these people are dangerously insane.

9. Hagee is a fat worthless bastard....

Religious Infiltration of the Government to encourage Miltitary strikes against another nation based only on dilusions of grandure in a heaven that DOES NOT EXIST should be considered a crime against humanity.

They do not have to drag everyone down with them. All they need to do is have a 'Jim Jones' moment; matching jumpsuits and cyanide for all who wish to take the express route to nonexistent land.
