File under: Arab Spring

#1 Even bungling can be made to look like the sharpest tactical chess game, after the fact. Diplomacy - especially dealing with rapacious predator communities not from our modern paradigms - is like playing go, baccarat and whackamole with a bit of dodgeball simultaneously. All the smart chaps in the world can't handle it on their own. Not without help from on high.

I believe it is only God and His angels that preserve Israel. He delivers their enemies into folly, and He gives the leaders wisdom at key moments. And courage; the rarest commodity in new world. He grants the Israelis courage.

'And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them; For the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.' - Deutronomy

And if God be for Israel, who will go against him, selah.
