Democracy in Iraq

We were never meant to be a Democracy! You Neo-cons keep equating the invasion of Iraq with the "war on terror", praising Bush for what he is doing in Iraq, but ignoring the fact that he has done nothing to the number one country that funds and trains terrorist, his long time friends of the family, Saudi Arabia.

Spreading "selective" Democracy only to the countries in the Middle East that will help you be in position to launch further invasions in the Middle East is not exactly loving freedom, it's world domination, or Bush's Pax Americana!!

 

I don't hate and despise their freedom, but I do know that it's just a matter of time before the people in the new "free" Iraq are going to be persecuted, just like the freedom loving citizens of Saudi Arabia are. It is impossible for freedom to co-exist with the evil of Islam. Iraq is a new Islamic state and it won't be long after our troops are gone that the evils of Islam will haunt the people of Iraq. True Freedom is only possible with Jesus Christ and the only countries that will ever be free are the ones that acknowledge Jesus Christ as the foundation of freedom.

You praise Bush and put him on a pedestal, all the while ignoring his connections to the Illuminati & Bilderberg and the New World Order. I don't believe Bush to be the Anti-Christ, but I see now that when the Anti-Christ comes into power, he could do it through the GOP and the "chruch" in America would be more than happy to support and follow him.

 

I believe America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and based on the foundation of Jesus Christ, but the more Americans thumb their nose at God, the more He will remove his protection from our once great nation, and will turn them over to their sinfull desires. That goes for any nation that rejects Jesus Christ, wether it be America, Israel, Iraq, etc., if a nation rejects Jesus Christ, they are destin for destruction.

 

You can't look at the 18th century through 21st century eyes and understand it. You have to look at history through the eyes of those who lived during that time in history.

I could use your logic to say that the Bible is bad because it "condoned" slavery :

However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)

If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for only six years. Set him free in the seventh year, and he will owe you nothing for his freedom. If he was single when he became your slave and then married afterward, only he will go free in the seventh year. But if he was married before he became a slave, then his wife will be freed with him. If his master gave him a wife while he was a slave, and they had sons or daughters, then the man will be free in the seventh year, but his wife and children will still belong to his master. But the slave may plainly declare, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I would rather not go free.' If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will belong to his master forever. (Exodus 21:2-6 NLT)

When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)

Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed. If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. You should work all the harder because you are helping another believer by your efforts. Teach these truths, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them. (1 Timothy 6:1-2 NLT)

The servant will be severely punished, for though he knew his duty, he refused to do it. "But people who are not aware that they are doing wrong will be punished only lightly. Much is required from those to whom much is given, and much more is required from those to whom much more is given." (Luke 12:47-48 NLT)

 

You are saying that the US Constitution and the founding of our nation was not based on Christian principles and Jesus Christ because slavery existed, I was simply stating that I could say the Bible is not based on Christian principles and Jesus Christ because slavery existed in the Bible. That is how your logic works, you seem to look at history through the mindset of today, to understand the Bible you have to understand the Biblical times, to understand the founding of our Christian nation yo have to understand the 17th Century times.
