Evangelical Protestant Christians see the Six Day War as perhaps the sole instance of unquestionably divine intervention that occurred in modern times. They also have an eschatology that involves the rebuilding of the Temple on Mt. Zion. They tend to gloss over the fact that David Ben-Gurion and Golda Meir were outright atheists, and not even religious Jews accept the 3-in-1 oil of the Holy Trinity.<br /><br />Arab dictators use it as a permanent boogeyman to shift the blame of their own failures.<br /><br />Worst of all is the permanent victim class that trolls the Innernets looking for anyone saying we should cut that country from our foreign aid welfare rolls, which is a basic position of Libertarians and Objectivists.

It added that Mexico is generally hostile to enemies of the United States, not wanting to risk possible intervention by U.S. forces should its territory be used in any attack.<br /><br />The cartels, too, have pragmatic interests in maintaining their core business of narcotics smuggling without greater interference, it added.<br /><br />"Any plan to use Mexican drug cartels to carry out attacks against the United States would threaten the very existence of the cartel," a Stratfor analysis said.<br /><br />"Mexican drug cartels are already facing challenges - struggling with one another and with the Mexican government for control over transportation routes that will allow them to transit cocaine from South America to the United States. Any foray into international terrorism would be bad for business," Stratfor said.<br /><br />At least four U.S. diplomatic cables from 2008 and 2009 indicate how closely U.S. envoys in Mexico track Iranian activities.<br /><br />One cable from Oct. 23, 2009, was sent to the State Department four days after Dennis Blair, then the director of national intelligence, met with President Felipe Calderon.
