Hi John and Doves,

This article asks if the USA is about to bomb Iran. With all the military prep that's happening I would say YES.  A very good article in the link BUT it doesn't address the Islamic belief that our world has to be in utter chaos and war for their so-called Mahdi to emerge.  All political commentators cover the military aspects but fail to understand that Iran and it's other Shi'ite ilk, WANT and NEED war. They fully believe that it is only this that will bring in the 'Mahdi' and ensure Islamic victory.

I researched their belief in this scenario and it is stunning in it's clarity. Iran's mullahs are not thinking in layman's terms. They are not thinking about the ruination of Iran and the killing of her people. They FULLY believe that the Mahdi will appear in the midst of chaos, war and murder. What is it about this barbaric belief are the West not getting? There is no logic involved. No reasoning or bargaining. Iran wants and needs this looming war. There is no reasoning with them. All so-called talks and diplomacy are meaningless.

In the link below is one explanation of the signs of the appearance of the Mahdi. Honestly - there are so many details that the head spins. A lot of prophecies were taken from the Holy Bible and given an Islamic twist. If you can bear it, do some more research. It's ugly! This is the reality of what Israel and the USA are dealing with. If the USA and Israel approached this coming war with their Judeo/Christian heads on, they would approach this Iranian threat with utmost force and urgency.
