Now do some soul searching about your blanket condemnation of many innocent people who deserve freedom as much as you and I do. They are created in God's image as you and I are. They are not deserving to be oppressed any more than you or I are.

No one deserves to be oppressed. But most people take the wide gate. I can't grab someone and force them through the narrow gate. They have to freely decide to take it for themselves. Our Christian interests are better served through missionary work than nation-building. This is going to take many decades, probably many centuries.

You just said that the Iraqi people deserve to live under a dictatorship.

But most people take the wide gate.

You are taking one verse of Scripture and distorting it to suit your political will.

One has nothing to do with the other. Get deeper into the Word.

This has nothing to do with the military and political need to get rid of Saddam Hussein and the critical importance of having an ally in the ME.

And, btw, I can see that you are both young and still liberal, but this is really not about YOU, and what you can and cannot do. Can you at least try to discuss the issues without it's being centered on yourself?

Or not?
