I read the news today, oh boy

So, I read today that the top Iranian cleric Ayatollah Sump’m al sump’m said, and I paraphrase, “The Iranian nuclear program is going forward no matter what.  Now we can do something about Israel.”

Then I read that Hamas, which is now “governing” the Palestinians, pledged that they will never recognize Israel “until all Palestinian rights are restored.”  Which means, of course, the disappearance of Israel because it is an “illegal occupation.”

What nincompoop thinks we’re not at war with the Muslim world?

Ecclesiastes speaks to this, I think:

 1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
 2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
 3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
 6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
 7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
 8 a time to love, and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
