Alice says: >>I am forw this bec fr a Jungian perspective the impact of mythic ref to the 12th Imam is as dangerous as the FUNDAMENTALIST MYTH OF THE second Coming n rapture! As the Islamic fund fanatics have no fear of suicide, it suggests coll suicide.!<< --Agreed, the consequences of identification with that myth could be hugely destructive. Iran will have nuclear weapons in X years (people disagree on what X is) and Pakistan already has them. If the US or Israel did anything really inflammatory to deal with Iran, Pakistan's fanatics would work on getting Musharraf out of power and installing fundamentalists (no way of knowing whether they could pull it off or not). From there, they would potentially be able to blackmail anyone they wanted, with the threat of missiles launched from nuclear subs. If we don't generate a positive transformation myth

for the world, we will lose far more than the war in Iraq. C. Lockharthttp://www.soulaquarium.netYahoo!

To work for liberation of the oppressed can be helped by communicating with the oppressors, and may free the oppressors from the degradation by which they are trapped. It cannot be realized unless there is contact with them.” Adam Curle, Quaker international mediator
