Thank you for the service Church16. Like you, I am willing to end terrorism and promote love, peace, and freedom. I would like to fight for my own country first.

I also understand the hosts feelings about doing the job right. I don't think anyone likes to start something and leave it undone (except for the UN).

I am older now, but at the age of eighteen I was standing at the wall in West Germany waiting for T72s to come. I love my country and just let somebody shoot 2000 missiles into my her. I will be there to protect and defend her no matter how dang old I get. I think there are enough Israeli's that feel like me. I also see that Israel already has a very strong military. To the IDF, it would probably be an embarrassment to start something and then ask others to finish it for them. I think Israel can defend herself. I often find my self thinking about defending Israel but in a different way. When the buses where blowing up, I was sending money to Israel. I think I put my money where my mouth is.

I also Bless Israel with my prayers. I think the Lord has already Blessed her because those 2000 plus missiles could have done a lot more damage then they did. I don't know if others can see it, but I see that God is not neutral when it comes to Israel. I think the Lord has it all under control. May be a naive way to go, but it gets me through tough times.

I also know that tough times never last but tough people do.

I think there is coming a time when we will all have to make a choice, whether individual western governments can make that choice or not, whether they decide they can buck political "realities", WE each INDIVIDUALY have to make a choice on which side we fight.

I have personally made that choice, I have taken an Oath and it goes beyond my nations boarders. My Oath goes and always has gone to the People, those are the ones I serve, under the grace of God.

Whatever nation, group or Brotherhood defends those beliefs that I have sworn to, that I hold dear, I will fight with.
