BOMB, BOMB IRAN? In 2005 Eric Yoffie was the first rabbi ever to address the student body at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University. Over lunch with Falwell the subject of Iran came up. Falwell suggested to Yoffie that President Bush was too constrained politically to take out Iran's nuclear weapons

program and that Israel would have to do the job instead. Falwell then said, "The day Israel takes out the weapons of these barbarians, there will be eighty million evangelicals at the gates of the White House cheering. And I'll tell you something, President Bush will be cheering, too" (Zev Chalets, A Match Made in Heaven, HarperCollins).
