I have a Greek Orthodox priest friend who walked down a street in Israel in his clerical robes. He was spit on by local Jews. While Syria has a thriving Christian community, it seems that Israel wants to drive not only the Muslims, but also destroy the ancient, ancient Christian communities in Palestine and primarily by making life very difficult for them. Who knows? The recent National Geographic article speaks to this. It will be interesting to see AIPAC's and the like's response to the article. The interesting thing about the attempting to restrict the Bomb in the Middle East is that it has a Biblical precedent. Except during the brief time of David and Solomon, the Israeli's lived in the hills and not along the seacoast. And when the Philistine dominated the coast, they would not permit iron to be sold to the hill dwelling tribes of Israel. As the restriction on weapon possession failed three thousand years ago, so it will fail now. I believe that of the nations in the Middle East, Syria is the most tolerant.

Bogey men can always be found in the middle east so there will always be a reason for America to do their dirty work. I read somewhere that one of the principle Christian factions in Lebanon is allied with Hizbollah electorially. Perhaps someone should call Dr Hagee? Surely all we dumb Chrisitians know who the bad guys are, or do we? The Neo’s would still have Syria to obsess over.

The casual sense of "ideology" as any set of ideas touching upon politics is a different matter, but ideology as a pseudoscientific system of idees fixes to which the world must be made to conform is something I most definitely reject.
