averagefellar,
You asked:
"What program put forth by our government persecutes Christians? I am speaking directly, not indirectly."
There is none directly that I know of on an international level. But yet this is done indirectly. For example, China has now been granted permanent Most Favored Nation, or MFN, status. Before that time it used to be debated every year and every year the Chinese government was confronted about their mis-treatment of their citizens. Then came the movement to give China MFN. Human rights organizations, both Christian and others, said that to give China MFN would most certainly result in an increase in persecution of Christians and other human rights abuses. China was given MFN status anyway by the U.S. government. The result was then exactly what the human rights organizations predicted. Withholding MFN was a way of regularly dealing with China's mis-treatment of it's citizens. Then the U.S. government threw that opportunity away. Obviously we can't, and shouldn't, go to war with China, but here is something we could have done to help the people in China, but chose not to do.
You stated:
"Are you personally willing, today, to join the movement to go to China and go to war?"
I know of no such movement, and I certainly would not be in favor of such a movement. You're asking the wrong person.
