Depends on what you consider "political process"; I find that political
block, evangelicals,certainly do have significant effects on what kind
of blabber and posturing politicians produce to get their votes and
support. I call that the political process.

No, *some* prefer to wipe Iran off the map, or communist nations, or
whomever is the foe du jour. I might add, and this is really the point,
that "mullahs" as a generic category for any islamic "preacher" did not
threaten Israel as a group with map-wiping.

Ah--it was rhetorical question and therefore supposed to go unanswered. I see.

Going personal so soon? I consider the wholesale summoning of all of
Islam an appeal to stupidity and political manipulation. Just as is all
of Christian "preachers" as in my example. I see only one side of that
finds offense.

In future dealings, I'll strip your insults and work with whatever is left.
