  Susan - Was Ivins a Roman Catholic Christian Zionist?

  Susan - You need to research this subject more. For instance, Senators Sam Brownback and Rick Santorum, both Roman Catholics, attended the most recent meeting of CUFI (Christians United for Israel), a Christian Zionist organization led by Christian Armageddonist John Hagee. There is indeed a sector of Roman Catholics that is strongly associated with Christian Zionist ideology and politics, and Bruce Ivins may well have been in that camp.

  Anyway, Pastor Hagee, that drawling, white-haired, barrel-organvoiced Texan with the kindly smile who gives such powerful ministry on TV, is one of America's chief pitchmen for Christian Zionism. He founded a group called Christians United for Israel (CUFI), whose mission is to rally Christians to Israel's cause. According to the Washington Post, Hagee has regular access to the White House and has many followers among George Bush's staff. Remarkably, when CUFI held a conference in Washington this past summer, no less a personage than Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman gave the keynote address. Also participating as speakers were Senators Sam Brownback and Rick Santorum, while George W. Bush and Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert sent recorded greetings.
