The War" is over -

Now it is insurgencies - And the root of it all is Israel -

And, unless you have first hand knowledge you cannot speak about something the media tells you and deny it one way or the other.

Niedzeijkore, how is it that you can put a price tag on a person's life? When 9/11 occured, how many of those people "weren't worth being saved" from that rubble? After all, they were merely collateral damage, 3000 lives aren't worth it... or are they worth it to you because maybe they were American sheeple who answer to the government's every beck and call?

Is it because they're Iraqi that their lives are not worth it, that somehow, they are less human, and not quite created in God's image than you or I?

Is it because they are poor and can't contribute to the global society as you can?

Or perhaps because they begged soldiers "Please spare my family" because they said or did something while someone was having a bad day? Tell me... what makes their lives so expendable?

...and what is it about you that puts you above them... that your life is more valuable and worthy of being spared from a miserable existance?

Caloric intake is up in the Food for Oil program now that he is gone - Their quality of life, food and medicines are MUCH improved because now the UN has control over their trades, food, farming, and overall government expenses.

I don't think the amount of money the US spent on freeing the Iraqi political prisoners was worth it. The political prisoners really weren't worth saving anyway.

And furthermore, I don't believe it is our right to interfere with the third world. I think we should feed them, give them medicine and vaccines... help with infrastructure even... but this whole idea that our government can impose regime change at will is crazy. If things are that oppressive, the people will revolt.

We had to figure that out during our revolution, and other people need to find out that they can flip over the status quo through revolution the same way we did.

Are the Iraqis better off now that we got rid of Saddam? I don't think so in the long run. Imagine if instead of us revolting, France came in, destroyed our continental congress, and made our constitution for us. I don't think we'd be as patriotic now if that was the case... and I doubt Iraqis will have the sort of love for their country the way we do.

With proper $$$ management, their children are living, not suffering, being killed, raped, exploited and otherwise being forced to fight for a cause that clearly did not deserve to be fought for.

And, lastly, consider this - The Bible, Gods Holy, and Infallible Word explains in detail that God appoints and promotes who he will. SO, if he appointed, promoted, and gave direction to a President to aid in the prevention of genocide in the Holy Land of Iraq, who are we to judge that, and, who are we to decide that the prisoners are not worth it????

Genocide, mass murder, rapes, starvation, are OUT OF CONTROL around the world, and especially in 3rd world countries. Africa, suffering SO EXTENSIVELY today, and yet you see the fulfillment of prophecy around each corner, each day, each headline -

But when you look close, you see the pain and suffering that almost EVERYWHERE BUT here is enduring (Yes, much of the EU is too with the addition of the new countries - ANother discuission though - too long for here) and it makes you realize how insignificant the LITTLE bit of help we can give really is.

Our place is NOT to stand and say they are not worth it - It should be what God has commanded -

Children - Jesus said it is better for someone to tie brick around their neck and drown themselves if they have caused these little ones to suffer -

Around the world they being exploited, raped, murdered, some by OUR OWN TROOPS! Look at what has happened recently in Africa and Asia -

OF course I am only scratching the surface of what is happening - Just Praise the Lord for your freedoms and as ask him what you can do to help relieve some of the suffering and pain that these peoples around the globe are enduring,

instead of deciding that they are not "Worth it" -

What value does God place on a soul? On a Child? Hmmm.... That seems like a better question to me...

Jesus said that what you do unto THE LEAST of these, you do unto me -

So saying someone is not worth saving is saying that Jesus is not worth it -

You love Jesus as much as the person or people you like least...Until we develop a heart for souls, a desire to "Save the World" and weep for the suffering of Gods people, we cannot truly say we Love Jesus - He wants us to pray for these people, do what we can, and most of all, Love Them as we Love Ourselves -

In this way we are doing what he asked us to do - And when you seek to love others the way Christ loved the Church, he begins to soften you heart -

You begin to weep at things that before hardened you, like the concerns over government spending instead of thepain and suffering that results form the mor economincally sound states, provinces, and countries LACK OF involvement.

Ok - Off my soap box now - But I am telling you saints, God WANTS US to pray for them, intercede, stand in the Gap, Believe and desire their salvation - Not care about theirs or our governments bottom line -

God said HE WILL take care of that, he will promote who he will and he will take down who he will -

Our country enjoys freedoms that ALLOW US TO HELP!!

Praise God we are able to instead of slam it for doing so....
