War in Iraq

Iraq… What can be said about Iraq? I could go dig up the facts, I’m sure, of these rumors going around about how more people die a day in the Washington District of Columbia from gun crime, things like that, or just give you the actual death rate of troops and civilians. I could sit here and tell you how awful it is over there and that is reason we should come back from there, but to do so would underestimate you. You are smarter than that; you are smarter than the government anticipated, and even now, the pretenses that we thrust our country into a war in some far off land to fight some ambiguous enemy doesn’t sit quite right with you anymore - something feels off, and mostly by logic am I going to encourage that thinking.

Let’s start at the beginning, around 1990 and the cold war. We needed to ‘contain’ communism, and we didn’t want to let Russia get their ‘buffer zone’ to their country because it was just like how Hitler started to take over, so in order to stop Russia from obtaining their buffer zone, we went into the Iraq area to keep them from coming in and assist them, but we never did really come back from there; we’ve had troops in bases over there ever since, so presented with the question of why our twin towers were hit by plains, supposing that it was who they say it was that hit us and not someone completely hidden with much more power, I would say that they got sick of us being over there and wanted to give us that message.

Putting all the reasons and all the events that have resulted in the United States being thrust into a war aside, let’s look at the act of us going over there to fight a foreign battle as it’s naked self. The countries we have militarily swept clean never officially asked us to come over there or urged us to help - not as I can recall. One nation cannot simply decide when another nations needs to have a revolution or a change of government; it can be hoped for and aided, but only the people can get so fed up with their government and rise up against it, no other country can overthrow another peoples government, that is called imperialism. Nations can come to the aid of a peoples revolution so long as the people are leading and the outside country is only supporting the best they can - it is after all the peoples revolution.

Nations rise and nations fall. God’s laws rule over those of kings and presidents and so long as they do, and they will forever, He will dictate when they rise and when they fall. The only power men have over the fate of countries is how well they labor according to God’s commands. No military force can stem the tide of God’s judgment no matter how powerful. Individuals are met with God’s judgment for their sins after this life while at His throne, but nations will not hold their bounds in the life hereafter; therefore, the sins of nations governments can only be punished while they exist still on earth.
