Deception flows from the Middle East more freely than does the oil from its bowels. Much of the so-called "civilized" world, represented by the United Nations, is willingly its victim.
France and Germany are particularly willing to swallow Saddam's boldfaced lies, even though Secretary of State Colin Powell unmasked Iraqi deceit at the UN last week for the whole world to see. These, America's supposed allies, apparently want to avoid war at any cost for now, even knowing such avoidance means, almost certainly, war on a much larger and possibly nuclear scale at some future date. The analogy has been drawn, and rightfully so, linking today's leaders of France and Germany to memories of Neville Chamberlain and his worthless "peace in our time" attitude toward another megalomaniac -a guy named Adolf Hitler.
Powell's satellite reconnaissance presentation showed Iraqi trucks and buildings with large vents, clearly tipping the intelligence gatherers that Saddam Hussein's regime is building and testing long-range weapons that could carry mass destruction-type warheads. The photos then showed the trucks quickly being loaded and leaving the area only hours before the UN inspectors arrived. Obviously there were -and continue to be- leaks in the inspection itinerary keepers' midst.
Saddam's intelligence operatives have from the beginning of the inspection process had the inspectors' hotel and meeting rooms bugged with snooping devices, according to reliable reports. Since the world community of diplomats and media -but for rare exceptions-- haven't called the dictator on these violations, is it any wonder he continues to deceive and make fools of those who insist that the inspection process continues in order to avert war?
It is clear to President Bush, Secretary Rumsfeld, and now, even Secretary Powell, that time for playing games with Saddam Hussein is over. As a matter of fact, Mr. Bush has made the statement that the "game's over"--a statement of frustration for which France's president had scathing denunciation. It seems no amount of proof that Iraq is deceiving the inspectors and the world is sufficient to warrant military action in the view of the French and German leaderships.
Deception began in the geographical area now known as Iraq. Deception continues to bubble from that land, and, like it did with Adam and Eve, it is working well on today's willingly gullible diplomatic world, for the most part.
This is no surprise to the student of the Bible. It is particularly not surprising to the student of biblical prophecy. About Satan, and those who are deceived by him, God's Word says: "Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it" (John 8:44).
Satanic deception is leading mankind toward the final war of this Earth Age -Armageddon. However, Jesus gave His followers down through the ages the words of comfort: "And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet" (Matthew 24:6).
Let us continue to pray that America's leadership will not be deceived by the dark forces at work in today's world. Let us continue to pray for ourselves, individually, that we will strive to be on the side of God's right, justice, and truth in these very troubled times. --Terry James
