{ You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed, such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. All of these are the begging of birth pains. Matthew 24-6-7 The Holy Bible}
I believe this war in Iraq is all part of God’s plan for the humans on this earth. I’m not saying that God was pleased with this war, by no means do I want to give anyone that conclusion. What I mean is I believe that one day God will come back to Earth and call all those who believe in him unto him for eternity. I believe that the Bible teaches us that through out our history and the future history we will hear of wars and rumors of wars and these things must happen because they are all part of God’s plan.
This is not the first war that the minority of Americans disagreed upon, and I’m very sure this isn’t going to be the last one either. Every country on earth has a ruler or dictator or what ever you want to call the person in charge of your state or country. In the US he {so far there has never been a She} is called our President, other countries there are Kings, Queens and etc. Each country should have every right to “vote” upon who they wish should lead them into the future and present times. Every 4 years we elect a President, sometimes it might be the same one that was in office the last 4 years, other times it’s someone new. Each time a new person is elected things begin to change in our country. We get new laws, we get “new” freedom’s we get new changes. Just like Saddam he was the ruler of Iraq and the people there, so everyone had to listen to his “views” and his “laws”. Every 4 years they were not able to “vote” a new leader in and if they could they were to afraid to be honest and vote who they really wanted in office in fear that they would be killed by Saddam.
If I had a President that was ruling my country {America} and was killing millions upon millions of American citizens and taking our hard working money from “oil” and using to feed his own families and his own desires I would be upset. If I wasn’t able to believe in my own God and if I wasn’t able to walk the streets at night or day in fear that I might do something wrong and then be tortured or murdered I would be in fear. I wouldn’t want to live like this, I would wonder why someone wouldn’t help us out? How can defenseless humans have a uprise against a military and leader that was as strong as Saddam was? Would you rise up against him if you lived there? Or would you just live in that type of life until you died or was murdered. Whatever the reason the President of the United had for the war in Iraq I just hope that things in the middle east will change. I hope that Syria does what the US says and doesn’t allow other military men from Saddam and his group to enter their boarders. I don’t want to see another war break out over there in the middle east, but if that happens then so be it.
I just want to see the Iraqi people finally be able to live in happiness. I’m sure not everything there is going to change, and the looting needs to stop but hopefully with the Grace of God the people of Iraq will be safe from another leader who will control them the same way that Saddam had. I just want to see everyone on the face of this earth be free to enjoy life to their fullest. I know other countries have different laws and religion but I hope that one day they will be able to express their belief in full submission with out being in fear of death.
My heart does go out to those who died in this war on all sides. I have to remember that even those in the military of Saddam had someone that loved them too, and my heart and prayers go out to them and I hope God will give them strength to go on. Peace will come one day for everyone in this land but when I don’t know, but the Holy Bible does tell us that God will bring peace when he returns. So yes in conclusion to my review I think this war in Iraq needed to be done, if not for the Iraqi people then at least to bring down a evil dictator and a man who in my eyes doesn’t deserve to have a kingdom like he once had. Most of all I hope the Muslim community doesn’t hate all Americans for this action, just like all Americans are not bias against all Muslims. If only everyone could agree on peace and how peace should be done things would never get this far.
May God be with this world and with those who died in fighting for their belief.
