The Dawkins-esque movie advertised often here at TPMCafe, the one that does sacrilege in abusing a holy icon of Christ, seems only to attack the Christian faith. I wonder why we do not see ads attacking Judaism, since it is the root Theistic religion from which Christians confess their own belief in God?

Or why do the ads not alternate, in all of their all-knowing pride, in attacking each and every religion on the earth? For example, the ad could side with the Communist People's Republic of China and reinforce its argument of the irrationality of the Tibetan people and their Buddhist dignity and courage in standing for freedom. There was a genocidal proportion of killing done against Tibetans, chiefly against their religion and its forms of spirituality.

What is it about hyper-political ideologues, partisans and frustrated atheist professors who must attack everyone else's beliefs in God to sustain their own faith that there is no God?

An answer to the ideology of desecration, here against the Sinai icon of the two-natures of Christ, in the movie ad disseminating the desolation to desolations (de-soul-ations).

These are what they are:

the memory ... from the beginning

spiritual ... song, innate in humankind

birth ... rebirth, Arab hymn

royalty ... in forms, majesty

joy ... in life

May you and yours stand in the rough, purifying surf of this  life, the rains of giving, the sunrays of love and the warming sand of divine and human compassion, and find healing for soul and body.

The story is here.

As late as last October, Hillary Clinton became the darling of the Defense Industrial Complex, something Dwight Eisenhower sternly warned would happen to corrupt democracy's defense. It has become an enduring pressure behind unnecessary wars as testing grounds for the shiny, expensive weaponry mill. It is a conflict of interest in sending troops and swearing the oath.

In addition, the Clinton Doctrine is related to Neocon doctrine of military internvention. Pick your interventionalist doctrine, it is an ideology of sending other peoples' young into combat for suspect visions instead of basic national defense. Did Hillary Clinton support the Clinton Doctrine? If so, why was it applied to Kosovo but not Rwanda?

She said she told Bill to bomb on the pretext of genocide in Kosovo. Did she advise similarly in Rwanda? And now the Serbian government has collapsed while the underlying conflict over Serbia's cradle of faith-culture remains in Kosovo under seige; for instance in the Decani Monastery and other holy sites since desecrated and vandalized.

Serb Orthodox holy sites in Kosovo are damaged by vandals but the US is not up in arms. Mosques are blown up in Iraq and the US is up in arms. The way the Clinton doctrine applied to Serbia may have been what pushed Russia back onto the neo-Soviet track. For it was after NATO bombed the Serbs that Yeltsin fast-tracked Putin the super-nationalist to replace him, and perhaps had to do so.

A 2-year civil war with 10,000 dead on both sides in Kosovo was genocide in Clinton's book, and so she advised Bill to bomb them. And yet, blunder of blunders, they even bombed them on Easter day whereas in Operation Desert Fox, Clinton ceased bombing for Ramadan. The message to Russians was clear. Joining NATO would be out of the question. And is that supposed to have been a wise foreign policy move?

The smaller combatant in Kosovo, the KLA, was also considered a narco-terrorist group which well may have funded al-Qaeda in exchange for its training of KLA fighters. How is misunderstanding an age old conflict between Serbs and Muslim forces, helping a drug cartel, and offending the entire Eastern Orthodox world with a false genocide charge considered good foreign policy?

What's the result? A man linked to and protected by Vladimir Putin, Viktor Bout the "Death Merchant," sends arms to Columbian rebels to try to destabilize the region with a little help from the big-Kalishnikov customer Hugo Chavez. Looks like proxy war feinting to me. Would it be happening but for the bombing of Serbs and the "independence" of Albanian dominated Kosovo?
