Those who support the continuing death and destruction being suffered by both American troops and Iraqi civilians let me pose a dilemma for you.
What would you do if when you were in basic training, discovered yourself in a situation for some reason you could not understand, a bigger, faster, stronger, more violent Marine began picking on you, calling you names, and physically knocking you around every day. You tried fighting him a couple of times, but you simply weren't bad enough to handle him with your hands. You are really puzzled as to why you were singled out since you had done absolutely nothing to this person.
Which of these choices would you pick?
a. do nothing and allow him to rape you physically, psychologically, and beat you down?
b. continue fighting back by yourself, even though you never won, and you were slowly being killed by this person?
C. Have a little meeting with some of the other trainees who fear they may be next. Then get about ten guys on your side and make plans to bring this guy down. You know he can whip, one or two, but not all ten of you. So you are looking forward to making him an offer that will totally eliminate him as a threat.
Yes, if you are a sane, rational, sensible, human, you would pick option three.
Now another scenario for you all.
What if you came home and discovered that your house had been blown apart, your family killed, and the person who did it, ran away. A few hours later someone comes to you and tell you that the guy who did it is down at the end of the block bragging about it.
You run down there, jump him and proceed to beat the crap out of him. He is on his back, you are straddling him on your knees, whaling away. suddenly, some of your neighbors rush up to you and say Stop! Stop! you're beating the wrong guy! He's not the one who is responsible. The guy who did it has been arrested at the airport trying to get on a plane.
Would you and those who think as you do, then turn around and look at the person telling you that you were beating the wrong man," Hey! I can't pull off now. I'm halfway through kicking his arse!" I've got to finish the job. I can't withdraw until I've killed him"
Or would you do the Christian, humane, ethical thing which is:
Instantly stop hitting the guy, get off him, pull him to his feet, dust him off, and apologize profusely for you having made a mistake. Hope that he would be satisfied with that?
As a great human being, who thought processes are not controlled by hate, I would do the latter.
Remember none of the hijackers were from Iraq, or Afghanistan. FACT, America is the only nation on the planet that has actually used atomic weapons against a civilian population. They dropped two atom bombs on Japan killing nearly half a million civilians since 1945.
FACT-America used agent orange in Vietnam and thousands of our troops died, or were permanently injured when they came in contact with agent orange. FACT-America kidnapped Noriega and removed him from his country. What kind of threat was he to us? We also killed several thousand Panamanian civilians in that disgusting needless attack. Many of our troops died, or were wounded. FACT-America attacked Grenada, Panama, Somalia, Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan. None of those countries were doing anything to us.
Why doesn't America attack Belfast Northern Ireland? They have been fighting there for thirty years. Catholics killing protestants. They behave like tenth world inhumans.
FACT- the most violent nation on the planet has no moral, or ethical right to be the world policeman. FACT- when you live in a glass house you shouldn't be throwing rocks. FACT-The UN is the worlds policeman. America is supposed to sit down with them and present their case there. If the UN feel there is a need for an attack, then they all go in together.
FACT-As long as there is a non European running the UN, America will continue to disrespect, and attempt to destroy the UN.
FACT-We, the ordinary citizens don't have planes to fly away from danger, and we don't have bunkers to go underground and live like our administration does.
FACT-If we don't stop tampering in the business of other nations, and trying to run their households for them, it will not be a question of IF... they will hit us with a force that ill kill hundreds of millions, but rather WHEN!
America must elect people who know how to think clearly and without race, religious, or any other hatred. America must learn to live with it's neighbors, and not try to destroy them if they don't do as we ask.
Isn't that what you do in your neighborhoods? you don't kill everyone you don't like on your block do you? You don't go around your neighborhood forcing people to live as you tell them to do do you?
I didn't think so. Well, the Christian answer is that the same principles work on a global scale.
FACT-People who are disciples of the Anti-Christ will never understand clearly any of this because Satan has his hooks deep in their brains.
Something else to consider. That gas that people smelled for about thirty miles from Manhattan may have been a test run. There are over fifteen million people living within 30 miles of Manhattan. The next time people MAY start dropping like flies.
Lastly, your wanting to believe everything that comes out of the white house, your needing to believe everything they say is not necessarily the same as the actual truth.
As ye reap, shall ye sow.
What goes around will eventually come around.
And for those of you who consider yourselves to be Christians here is something else to ponder:
Proverbs Chapter 1 verse 10 ¶ My sons/daughters, if the "BUSH REGIME" entices thee, consent thou not.
11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
15 My sons/daughters, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owner.
