Now here's an interesting headline from CBS News:

Israel prodding U.S. to attack Iran
Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen leaves Tuesday night on an overseas trip that will take him to Israel, reports CBS News national security correspondent David Martin. The trip has been scheduled for some time but U.S. officials say it comes just as the Israelis are mounting a full court press to get the Bush administration to strike Iran's nuclear complex.

Why we as Christians can sometimes feel completely alone (and why the "plainly obvious" to us, is not obvious to others).

2 Corinthians 4:
3 If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing. 4 Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

I imagine Noah and Lot felt completely outnumbered and overwhelmed with godlessness around them too.
