Pilgrim<br><br>First of all, I want to say that what I know about Iraq and SH can and probably is tainted by the liberal media. However, I have heard both sides of this issue and some of that information comes from US military personal themselves.<br><br>I want to say however that in case something I say comes off as offensive, I assure you that it is not my intention. It is only coming from someone who is trying to find out more about the situation.<br>I am definitely in agreement in principle with what president Bush is trying to do in removing SH and his cronies. It is hard to decide whether or not war is the best way to do this, but I am convinced that doing nothing would be worse.<br><br>Your example of a family buying their son a fast car is understood, however I have to say that if the family bought their son a fast car knowing the son is not responsible enough for that fast car, they must take some responsibility in their son's actions.<br>If indeed the US did aid SH in the Iraq Iran war especially in regards to chemical weapons (which by the way is illegal) then I would have to say that they need to face up to their side of the blame.<br><br>Having said all that, since it is water under the bridge, I believe we should react in a manner that makes sure we don't make the same kind of mistakes of the past.<br>That of course starts with prayer by all concerned Christians, which should be the first thing we should be doing before we react.<br><br>God is in control<br><br>Tom<br>
