In the Bible, Moab was the land of Ruth who converted to Judaism and had many children. One of her descendents would be King David, and many generations later Jesus Christ. For those religiously inclined, these are some very strong indicators found in our administration's belief in the role of G-d in blessing our missionary role for the crying masses for democracy, freedom, blah, blah in the Middle East.
Our family thinks the MOAB will be used on the large palaces of President Hussein. They sit on many acres of ground and the collateral damage would be minor.
