Hal Lindsey is a Moron

And I say this as a Premillennialist.

In an article on WorldNetDaily, he suggests (a) That we know that the Newsweek story is false, something I don't think has been proven - we just know that it doesn't have evidence confirming the story (b) that Newsweek should be prosecuted for getting the story wrong, and that (c) Newsweek should have sat on the story to prevent such a riot.

Let's be honest about his real opinion - we should have the right to do whatever we want because we are fighting evil!!!!, and the media should cover it up to prevent anyone from protesting it.

This is why I think we need to be able to question Allied actions in World War II - not because I feel particularly sorry for the Germans or the Japanese, but because we need to get over the idea that there are times when the government can do no wrong. When we start believing that, we go down a dangerous road.

That is all.
