A New Year’s Dream
Nightmare or Prophecy?

January 2, 2006

Something very strange happened to me this past week. I was seated in my library chair, mulling over current events, trying to make a few new year’s predictions, which is the custom for commentators. I was concentrating hard, when suddenly I saw before my eyes a headline from the New York Times. It read, “Congress Votes to End War; Troops Ordered to Abandon Iraq.”

The view changed. Just as in Vietnam three decades ago, I saw Americans clinging to helicopters, trying to get themselves out of Baghdad along with friendly Shiite Muslims. There was massive confusion, bombs going off in the background.

And then, I saw pictures out of Afghanistan. Al Qaeda had toppled the new Afghan government. Marines and soldiers again were hurriedly boarding choppers. It can’t be real, I thought—but it was.

The next thing I saw was a picture of Palestine, where most of the al Qaeda terrorists had now gone. The Israeli government was in disarray, reeling under a series of huge bomb blasts in Jerusalem.

Country after country was falling to the Islamic fascists: Saudi Arabia. Turkey. Egypt. For the most part, the terrorists simply refused to ship oil, and what they did ship was priced at over $150 a barrel. It was a worldwide crisis.

The Domino Theory proved to be wrong concerning southeast Asia. I see no reason to think that it is valid in the Middle East. I do see this as fearmongering by Mr. Colson and I think that he is smart enough to know better.

I see this article as a need to work towards Peace, not being hositle.

1. Work towards Peace

2. Work towards ending our dependenies on Oil

3. Work on shoring up our borders to prevent such an attach to happen in the first place.

And finaly but certainly not lastly...

4. Work on Strenghtening our Christian base, and adding to our Christian base so when the "world" does come crashing down, they will have the faith they need to believe, even during the most horrible times.
