It is the evangelical christian bent that concerns me, and the swagger with which it has been tossed into our policy making both here and in the middle east. A fundamentalist is rigid in his beliefs, but if I want to go to hell he is perfectly OK with that for the most part. Evangelicals are looking to convert the world and have some pretty scary ideas that are non-negotialble, from what I understand with limited knowledge from an outsiders point of view. I watch continuing escalations with Iran and can't help but believe decisions have already been made. I have friends there and scares the hell out of me.
