Polio vs. the mark of the beast

There is a polio epidemic in Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan, getting worse in part because of the murderous activities of the CIA:

This reminds me of something Colonel Kurtz said in the movie Apocalypse Now:

I remember when I was with Special Forces ... seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate some children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there, and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms.

The people of Pakistan feel the same way that the people of Vietnam did: America is the Great Satan, and these vaccinations are the mark of the beast. They believe in the reality of something Jesus said:

Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.

-Matthew 18:8 KJV

From OUR point of view, not vaccinating your children against a crippling, often fatal disease is a crime.

From THEIR point of view, turning your children over to the beast is an abomination.

We believe in the reality of our science and are very skeptical of their religion. They believe in the reality of their religion and are very skeptical of our science.

In the final analysis, it was the actions of the United States that caused this particular crisis. America killed bin Laden; America kills innocent men, women, and children via drone warfare and other means; America needlessly starved the children of Iraq and then destroyed that nation; America needlessly invaded Afghanistan and continues to destroy that nation.

Would you trust your children to a country which did those things to you? Most Americans already have.
