Gosh, Pat Robertson is a jerk. Why can't he keep his mouth shut about world leaders? There is something deeply repellent about speaking out on what he thinks is God's will relating tragedies and natural disasters.

"He was dividing God's land, and I would say, 'Woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the [European Union], the United Nations or the United States of America,'" Robertson told viewers of his long-running television show, "The 700 Club."

"God says, 'This land belongs to me, and you'd better leave it alone,'" he said.

I never understand this thinking about reading the will of God into current events. There seem to be a whole lot of more people worthy of smiting down than Ariel Sharon.
