Hal Lindsey's advice to the U.S. and Israel

Hal Lindsey, author of speculative prophecy books, has some advice for Israel and the USA. (See my comments after this excerpt.)

Let's put Iran back to 1850s
- By Hal Lindsey

"...Iranian leaders have even spoken about the desirability of an EMP attack against the U.S. and Israel on several occasions. A single such detonation at approximately 250 miles over the center of the U.S. would knock out all of our unshielded electronic systems from coast to coast and from Canada to Mexico... Everything from aircraft, aircraft, radar, communications, water systems, elevators, hospital diagnostic and operating room equipment, law enforcement, etc. would be instantly be destroyed or rendered useless.

"But what if we turned the tables? ... why sit around and wait for our known enemies to put us technologically into the 1850s? I think we should 'do unto them before they do unto us.' In the final analysis, such an act of boldness would save millions of lives on both sides. Israel, I especially hope you are listening."

Patrick: Hey, Hal, has prophetic paranoia knocked out your spiritual microchips? "Let's kill them because they might do something to hurt us!" Wonderful Christian ethic. Haven't you heard of Just War theology? This website has a good summary of it:
