This brings us back to the Iraq question. As far as Europeans know, Governments don't make war for values, but to defend the interests of their nation.

I have no doubt that some of our own countrymen believe this also. There is a huge communication problem between the Europeans and US on the reason for going to war in Iraq.

Could it be that the US does see things differently because we are still a mostly Christian nation governed by our creator and Europe is not?

We and the Euros are looking through two different sets of glasses on this issue.

If you are a Europeon or a US secularist, try to imagine for one moment why the US might have gone into Iraq for moral reasons and why most of Europe cannot understand this.

Hint: There is a religious war going on perpetrated by Muslim extremists trying to take over every country and convert everyone to Islam by force.

Does Europe even care if it becomes Muslim? The US still does.

For those of us on earth that still believe we have been given inalienable rights from God that no man or government can take away....fighting for moral values is part of defending the interests of our nation.

They can't grasp that concept because their worldview is a warped, grossly distorted, upside-down mirror image of our own. By this I mean that even as they claim that our Creator and His moral laws don't exist, they judge and condemn our actions, and the war in particular with perverted versions of His moral laws. They are saying to us: "Thou shalt not kill.....steal....lie..." etc. In other words, they condemn us for violating moral laws which they claim don't exist.
