Union for Mediterranean

French President Nicholas Sarkozy has proposed a Mediterranean union that comprises many nations along the Mediterranean Sea. This plan is designed to improve relations with Middle Eastern states such as Israel and promote peace. The map I have linked below looks eerily like the map for the Roman Empire. For more info read all the links I have below. Now I’m not saying this is a revived Roman Empire or this is what is spoken of in the bible but it is pretty incredible some of the similarities.

Ok, it’s John MCcain’s website but it brings up a good point, was it legal for Obama to create a seal based on the presidential seal and use it to make himself appear presidential?
Read the article and decide for yourself.

The Case For Eternal Punishment
