Why many in Congress fear peace

Quite simply, because they tend to be Bible thumpers. This means every day they pray for the second coming of their God. However, the Bible is very explicit this can not happen if Israel is not destroyed. To them, they should fight to preserve Israel, but at the same time do so with the knowledge it is doomed. Blessed are they who help this happen they believe.

So along comes Iran with it's nuclear program. Oh the self named Christians are overjoyed. The Final Days are here at last they exhort. Sure, tell Iran no to nuclear weapons. Rattle swords. Offer Israel better weapons. And in their churches give thanks for the coming war and the coming of their Lord as soon as 7 true Jews stand on a hill outside of Jeruselam and watch it burn. Joyously the cross followers sing Nearer my God to thee. Candlelight rallies praising their God and mock cursing of Iran.

Then it happens and for the first time their blood truly runs icy with fear. Iran is saying no to nuclear weapons and proposes a peace deal Israel can live with. But, but, but, Israel has to be destroyed before their God can come back. Say No to the deal they urge the President. They send a letter to Iran telling that even if the deal is made, they will do their best to unmake it. How lucky Israel is that they run the Congress here and maybe they can block the peace. No God can return if there is peace in the mid-East. Fear not they tell their followers. We will not go to war, but we will block the peace and destroy anyone who works to make it happen. Our Lord will come again.

Meanwhile, a new deal is worked out. This time the US is barely in the loop. Peace may come after all and the poor, sad Born Again wish they were Christians may have to wait another 2,000 years before they have another opportunity to gloat over dead people.

They cry, gnash their teeth and show the world there is nothing of God about them.
