Purim

• It may just be a coincidence,
  but interestingly,
  in recent years key foes of Israel have been destroyed
  by the US and UK on dates that coincide with the Jewish Festivity of Purim
  that falls every year on the 14th of the Hebrew month of Adar.
  
  Based on the Old Testament Book of Esther,
  Purim celebrates the slaughter of 75,000 enemies of the Jews
  throughout the Persia Empire (modern Iran, of all places!)
  
  Purim falls on a different date each year in our Western calendar:
  in 1991 it fell on 1st March
  (actually it started at sunset on 28th February)
  which was the exact day the Bush I administration
  called victory in Iraq.
  
  In 2003, Purim fell on 19th March which
  is when Bush II invaded Iraq.
  
  Last year it again fell on 19th March, 2011
  marking the first massive NATO attack on Libya.
  
  This year Purim falls on 8th March 2012.
  
  Will Israel and the US go into War Mode this week?
