[Avodah] why davka? amalek??

[Harvey Benton]

why does Hashem say regarding the battle with amalek, that His throne will
not be complete, until "amalek" is destroyed?
2 questions: what does amalek represent (so reprehensibly) that Hashem's
throne won't be complete??
weren't/aren't there more depraved, evil, etc, people(s) on the earth that have
existed, that "quote/unqote" been in existence, stood against Hashem's glory 

and his teachings??? 

Why davka Amalek??
2. do we hold that the battle of amalek is both a physical one (as well as a 

spiritual one?? or is one (you choose the one) sufficient a battle to engage in??
2a. some hold that amalek = doubt, or sowing the seeds of doubt (eg in a 

rational or philosophical way), but wouldn't that be more in the realm of "greek"
philosopy?? where nothing, to a degree of 100% certainty (eg, our reality, 

torah's validity given that we weren't there, other philosophical constructs including
the validity of math, reason, logic, euclidean geometry (basic building blocks 

of western societies' thinking, etc) can ever be proven..............
