Well, it looks like the die is finally cast. Our buddies, the Saudis (you
know, our "friends" who finance OBL and Al Quaeda and provided most of
the terrorists for 9/11) have made their position clear. They are firmly
with Iran, Syria, Hamas, etc. and have told the US to buzz off. The 2002
'peace initiative' has been ressurected and has been made even more rigid
and uncompromising and the Mideast bloc has told Israel they either
accept this or go to war. Even C. Rice says it's a good deal. So Israel
finds itself in the place Ohlmert has been steadfastly leading them. They
are completely surrounded by very heavily armed enemies and have a choice
-
        1. They can blowoff the "peace offering" and go to war WITHOUT
U.S. backing          or

        2. They can accept the deal, carve up God's land and City and
have an internationally recognized and supported country sharing their
borders who are dedicated to Israel's annihilation.

Whenever I think things can't get much bleaker over there..............
And if it's war between Israel and every other country in the region
(possibly even including Turkey and Pakistan), it won't take long before
the nukes are fired. I have to believe Israel would do all it can to
prevail.

The ONLY way out I see is for a VERY powerful someone to intervene and
soon. This someone would almost
have to have magical powers and be someone they could all trust. With the
final pronouncements from the Arab Summit leaving very little wiggle
room, Israel is going to have to make a decision real soon whether to
start shooting or carving and either one is a disaster. The "Peacemaker"
needs to come soon.

John, your Apr. 4/5 projection is looking more probable by the day. Come,
Lord Jesus!!
