The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend . . .

Is simply unsound, illogical thinking. I've noticed a few items in the news that just are truly making less sense every day. First, I was shocked that some American journalist/minister in Israel was shocked that Dick Cheney was as disappointing as the rest of "them." Bush, Rice, etc. regarding the Roadmap to Peace for Israel and the Palestinians. I, personally, found Dick Cheney to be a diplomatic disappointment and a bit too pugnacious, immediately in 2001. I thought he was ringleader of warmongering and fear incitement. But then again, the American journalist/minister that made the comment, has been in Israel for quite some time, so perhaps he hasn't had the opportunity to see Cheney in his "natural state."
Which brings me to my next curiosity. I would imagine everyone with an Internet connection has seen the "boycott CITGO" SPE-mail. We are supposed to boycott CITGO because Chavez owns it and he called President Bush, Satan. Well, I'm not so keen on sending my gasoline dollars to the country that printed passports for the 9/11 terrorists, either, but that's also happening. Back to Chavez for a minute. His country and Columbia are having a bit of spat and America has promised backing for Columbia if they need it . . . because Chavez is our enemy. If Columbia were truly our friend, would coffee be so expensive? So, Columbia, how about a reasonably priced cup of JOE between friends? And for all the SPE-mail reading and sending Americans, gasoline is gasoline. All the foreign oil is coming from somebody that doesn't like us, and domestic oil is capped, so boycott away, if it seems the patriotic thing to do!
And now to address what Mr. Chavez said about the President of the United States. George W. Bush is not Satan. Satan is crafty, Mr. Bush is not. Satan is deceptively convincing, Mr. Bush is not. Well only to a few really faithful followers. Satan promises wealth and ease, Mr. Bush has done nothing but promise difficulties and fear. Satan is popular in his power, clearly Mr. Bush is not. And Scripture says Satan can appear as an angel of light, whereas Mr. Bush appears rather dim.
