I do think there are links to global events that are tied to the hand of God. I also know that there are some out there that stretch to make a connection between the natural and the spiritual. This particular event, I get the feeling that it is a stretch. I will say however, it is important for the US to stay buddies with Israel.
I think this is a stretch and a coincidence. I've heard quite a few conspiracy theories on the Deepwater Horizon accident but I'm convinced it was an accident. Just that. Occam's Razor.
BP and FedGov were (and are) ill-prepared to manage it because of short-sighted procedures, planning, and policies by both admittedly for two different ends; that is, the drive for much-needed oil in uncharted areas and the desire to protect the environment by moving oil exploration farther and farther off-shore respectively.
Separately, our alliance with Israel is tantamount to a two-edged sword; they are an important ally and the only functioning democracy in the region but that very alliance is what alienates the Muslim world from us. Without getting into a long-winded discussion on foreign policy this alliance is an example of what Thomas Jefferson recommended our nation avoid as this excerpt from one of his speeches illustrates:
"Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations--entangling alliances with none, I deem [one of] the essential principles of our government, and consequently [one of] those which ought to shape its administration." --Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural Address, 1801.
