A Response to 2 Wise Men
In response to comments by Justin and Jon, I am obligated to further simplify the facts so everyone understands our situation. First of all, Justin and Jon both seem like very intelligent and Godly men, both of who are worthy of respect. However, it seems as if they are both not completely educated on our situation in the Middle East. I however, spend a great deal of time with Middle Eastern politics and am therefore compelled to correct these misunderstandings. No hard feelings, the politics of the Jihadists is very complex.
First of all Justin, You said that agree that Iran should not have nukes. This means you promote the United States prohibiting Iran from formulating a nuclear program. Yet, you say that we should not take military action. The only other resort is to try and negotiate with Iran, which we have tried to do. However, Iran refuses to discuss this issue with us and furthermore refuses to stop enriching Uranium. This is a problem. Listen, I agree that as Christians we have no need to fear Radical Islam or Death. I do not fear death and I know you and Jon don’t either, praise God for this. However, I was not at all saying that we should destroy Iran to stay safe and keep our peace of mind. The leadership of our country has a major obligation to protect and defend the American people. So, when faced with the decision to protect the Nation or to roll over and die, I want leadership who will protect its people. I am not afraid to die, but I do fear for the innocent children and people not yet reconciled to God. I believe God’s plan is to reconcile all people to Him, but if millions of them are killed because the leadership He appointed did not protect them, then what? There is a difference between bombing another Nation because we fear or dislike them, and bombing them because it is our LAST line of defense. That was the exact point; I don’t think the Democrats would protect us if they had to. I don’t think they would use their last line of defense. They just want to talk, even though that has already failed.
Also, I did not say that an Iranian Nuclear missile program would lead to the conversion of the entire world to Muslim. I did say that if Radical Islam had major nuclear capabilities they could and probably would terminate our entire country. Don’t forget, to men like Bin Laden and Ahmedinejad, world domination is the plan. They believe Ala wants them to spread Islam and wipe out all the “infidel”.
I also, realize that there are many brave men and women who put their lives in danger to spread the love of God, and I deeply admire them for doing this. However, these are grown adults who choose to put their life in harms way because God calls them to. That is much different than millions of innocent people who could die for absolutely no good reason.
Lastly, I agree there is more Christians can worry about. But we should not be ignorant of the world’s issues and run away from politics like so many Christians do. Why should we worry? Nobody’s worrying; we are just aware of our surroundings and prepared for the worst, but hopeful of the best. And that is the dream, to make peace with our enemies and not have Nuclear capabilities even be an issue. Thank you so much for response Justin. As for you Jon, I love you man, but I am disappointed with your cliché overly hopeful comment. However, I will see you tomorrow in class and will correct there. You are so much smarter than me, I expected more out of you. Isn’t this fun?

This Is Me, Rolling My Eyes
Ok, I cannot stand the stupidity anymore. I really give it my best to avoid bad-mouthing any particular political party. One may consider me more of a conservative than a liberal however, I am a registered Independent and refuse to support a bi-partisan system and furthermore, give allegiance to one dominating political party over the other. In lay terms, I am an issues man, not a party man. Thus being said, I will not say this country would be better off with the Democrats in office, but I will also not say I am praying that the Republicans hold their post.
This conundrum aside, there is one particular area I must where side with elephants. National security. Just accept it my Demy friends you have no idea where to start when it comes to defending the country. Here is why I am on my knees praying that we do not have a democrat in office in 2008.
Our current republican leader may have not done the best job in Iraq. And he may or may not handling the North Korea or Iran situations that well. However, Radical Islam has not attacked our country since 2001 and Iran and North Korea have not yet lauched at us either. In all honesty, I think we all all have been wondering when the Islamo-Fascists or the North Koreans bomb is going to hit. I think we have been nervous about the impending danger of Iran’s impending nuke. Listen, I am not a man of war. I do not like war. I hope we never have another war again. However, if turning Iran into a multi-level parking garage keeps our children safe and it keeps Islam from being the global religion, than so be it. You may be angry with me by this point but if you think that's impossible than you don't know your facts.
South Korea had clearly explained to us that Kim Jong Ill, President of North Korea, has a WMD and probably intends to use it. He refuses to talk to us and we remain in the dark about his intent. Mohmoud Ahmadinejad has plainly said his purpose is to wipe Israel off the map along with America. He has also said that if he had the power to give up half the landmass of Iran (Although he is president, these major decisions are made by the Grand Ayatollah) to destroy Israel, he would. Osama Bin Laden and Aymen al-Zawarhiri have devoted their lives to killing Americans and Jews because they think Muslims are the only true race and all other non-Muslims deserve to die. I don't think these men are wrong because they are anti-America and America is the only place to be. America is no more special than Korea or Iran. I think they are wrong because they are seeking the deaths of millions of innocent people just because they are not Muslim. These men hate America, they hate you and they want to kill you. They want Islam to be the only world religion and they want Arabs to be the only world inhabitants. As for Kim Jong Ill, he is just another crazy dictator seeking global domination. Hello, can you say Hitler numbers two and three at the same time. Imagine what would have happened if there would have been two Hitlers during the Holocaust. Well, there are two now, and all they need is more power, more resources and more time. And that is what the Democrats will give them, more time. Case in point, right now the whole of the Democratic party is shouting to the world, "Elect us in 2008 we will handle the terror situation better". Well, how are you going to do that we ask. "By talking", they say. Yes, that's it. That is their big heal-the-world strategy? As of now every democratic Presidential candidate says they will fix international relations by talking. Apparently, they are going to sit down with Ahmadinejad over coffee and ask him to lay off the nuke program. I am sure he will apologize for his irrational behavior, become Protestant, and immediately terminate Iran's development of Nuclear missiles. Are you kidding me? Talk...You Dem's want to talk?
The fact of the matter is that we have three major extremists seeking ways to end our existence. It is not because they are upset with us for buying African coffee instead of Arabic, it is because they have a conviction deep inside them that religiously obligates them to destroy us. The only solution is to capture or kill the two Hitlers and Bin Laden or a man named Mohmoud or Kim will rule America. They do not want to talk and they will not talk. Meanwhile Hillary and rest of the Democrats are trying to convince us that if the Democrats win in 2008 they will bring all Dictators and terrorists to the negotiation table and thus begin world peace. Are you rolling your eyes yet?
