If anyone does NOT understand the necessity of President Bush's move to oust Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq, I will kindly ask them to get their heads out from under the covers. There is NO negotiating with these tyrannic rulers in the Middle East. Most are cowards who won't stand up for anything, as long as they can keep their pockets lined, and the rest are out to destroy Israel and any thing that has to do with the western world and the 'infidels.'
There is no compromise for a Muslim. There are so many discrepancies in that religion, one minute it speaks of peace among brothers (assumingly MUSLIM brothers) and the next it speaks of destroying all who are NOT Muslim. If one follows the Muslim faith, there is no love for enemies as Jesus taught in the New Testament.
Now the president of Iran is boldly stating that the only way to bring peace to the middle east is to destroy Israel. I just don't see how anyone could EVER think there is compromise with these folks. Some people are so open-minded, their brains have literally fallen out.
This all stems from a debate I had several months back with a woman who did not grasp that the Islamic terrorists don't want power, or money, or anything like that.. they want to destroy it's enemy, namely Israel and the U.S. She could not understand the importance of removing power from tyrannical maniacs who hate the U.S and Israel, like Saddam Hussein... doing so was just a waste of time.
With Ahmadinejad admitting that he seeks the destruction of Israel, I certainly hope the screen will be lifted in front of the eyes of so many, and that they will come to an understanding that there is no room for compromise. True Muslim followers will not rest until Israel is no more. This is the beginning of a very troubled time for our world, and a very confusing time for its inhabitants. The rules of the games are changing. What was once right, is now wrong.. what was once wrong now seems right. We as a nation must stand fast in our defense of Israel, and not have the wool thrown over our own eyes, as has many other countries in the world.
Psalm 83
A song. A psalm of Asaph.
1 O God, do not keep silent;
be not quiet, O God, be not still.
2 See how your enemies are astir,
how your foes rear their heads.
3 With cunning they conspire against your people;
they plot against those you cherish.
4 "Come," they say, "let us destroy them as a nation,
that the name of Israel be remembered no more."
5 With one mind they plot together;
they form an alliance against you-
6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
of Moab and the Hagrites,
7 Gebal, [a] Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia, with the people of Tyre.
8 Even Assyria has joined them
to lend strength to the descendants of Lot.
Selah
9 Do to them as you did to Midian,
as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
10 who perished at Endor
and became like refuse on the ground.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,
all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 who said, "Let us take possession
of the pasturelands of God."
13 Make them like tumbleweed, O my God,
like chaff before the wind.
14 As fire consumes the forest
or a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15 so pursue them with your tempest
and terrify them with your storm.
16 Cover their faces with shame
so that men will seek your name, O LORD.
17 May they ever be ashamed and dismayed;
may they perish in disgrace.
18 Let them know that you, whose name is the LORD—
that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.
