Iraq, Three and One Half Years of the Wrong War- Another Tirade
Put in the simplest of terms - What’s Moral or Christian about our Invasion of Muslim Iraq?
Facetiously, it’s Christian because it’s just one more Crusade against the infidel.
Seriously, is the war in Iraq Christian and moral? Well, we already know the answer. We know the answer deep down inside, We know the answer even if we are evangelical Christians and trying somehow to reconcile this “preemptive strike,” – this war responsible for the deaths of 40,000 Iraqis and almost 2800 Americans - with Jesus Christ’s New Testament teaching. We know, even though this conservative Republican President and his party don’t want to know that we have destabilized the Middle East, caused the proliferation of international terrorists and their cells, and spent our nation into the poor house.
If this president and his evangelical supporters were truly Christian and moral, they would have pushed for an international peace keeping force in Darfur, and offered troops to the United Nations as part of that force in order to help stop the genocide there and help the two and one half million people displaced from their homes and threatened with starvation, rape and brutal murder.
Instead, our nation chose the opposite of “good and Christian.” We chose to go the low road. We chose to create and then participate in the civil war in Iraq. We chose to be the bad guy in everyone’s eyes - our own, and God’s.
Shame on us!
