It’s just an opinion I have void of action. Like most I have as I read through the stories of the day. What can one do about any of it?

I have found through reading and study at this late stage of my life that I reject the basis for all our wars (with the exception to WWII exclusive of fire-bombing Germany & Tokyo and use of the nukes), including the Civil War. I am not a pacifist, but now see that unless we use our military for strictly defensive reasons, we violate St. Augustine’s Just War theory, as well as George Washington’s exhortation to avoid foreign entanglements.

The Uyghurs, like the falun gung, like the Tibetans, are all victims of Chinese totalitarianism. We might assist in little ways, and we pray for them. Taiwan too. I lived there and have a love for that place and people. But they will be swallowed it seems, too. Ultimately, we can expose evil without taking steps militarily to stop it.

This is how I feel about it as well. China won’t stop with the Uyghurs, any more than they stopped with the Tibetans or Falun Gong.

Christianity is growing rapidly within China, especially the underground church. But does anyone really think it won’t end in genocide under the CCP regime?
