but usually there is an underlying religion involved. Acquiring land is an aspect so too is power hungry megalomaniacs but Palestine/Israel is and the entire middle east conflict against Jews is religion based almost entirely.

George Bush attacked Iraq -- a country that had ZERO to do with 9/11 because he said GOD told him too. Lot of dead Iraqis and American soldiers are now dead because of Religion based running of countries.

Hitler - well if we take his mein Kempf book in his own words he acted from a twisted sense of faith based Catholicism - despite religions claim that he was not faith based the evidence clearly states otherwise.

Stalin was an Atheist but the difference is he did not "act" in the name of Atheism - a neat point that is missed by right wing fanatics.

Religions based on the sky god ideology are dangerous. People willing to believe in such things are dangerous to themselves and to others because as Richard Dawkins noted in the Root of All Evil - there are good people and bad people in this world regardless of religion or not having religion but to have otherwise good people DO evil things - that takes Religion.

Bill Maher may be sarcastic and sometimes mean - but Bill O'Reilly is a complete and utter whackjob nut who is mean, angry, intolerant, and almost always Wrong about everything. Number one best seller so he has a big nut-job following of "believers.

I spent a day watching Fox News, the first time I have seen this channel, and now I get the jokes. This is supposedly a serious TV news station - Truly shocking at the complete low quality journalism (I mean these people are truly stupid). But I hear it's popular. According to them Palin easily won the VP debate which I had watched.

Won the debate? 86% of their nutty followers agree. Thankfully 14% of the right wing redeemed themselves by revealing they have an IQ higher than 50. Then again they may have pushed the wrong button on the poll.
