…Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

in America
One of the things that have always disturbed me is the Christian support of the war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Despite the command Thou shalt not kill and despite the fact that we are to love our neighbor as ourselves and despite the obvious fact that we were lied into participation, the conservative and fundamental Christian still support our illegal participation in the killing of over 100,000 innocent civilians presently in Iraq alone and 3,000+ civilian deaths in Afghanistan between 10/2001 and 03/2002. Not only is there support, there is utter disdain shown towards those living in the Gaza strip where Palestinians are held hostage due to political Israel’s illegal handling of the situation. Christian man, Christian woman, what’s the deal? Is it really right to kill others in the name of God? Or, is it just easier because here at home, you really don’t have to think too much about it until next Sunday when your preacher will crank up the propaganda from the pulpit…again? So, it’s obvious that “we” are right because “Gaza is Israel’s by right….the Iraqi and Afghani peoples as well as Iran pose a threat to Israel”….blah, blah, blah…Was that the bleeping of sheep I hear? Well, I’ve got a solution!
OK, hear me out. Since America is a Christian nation and God favors us because we “bless” Israel (with weapons) and all that rot, why don’t we just ask God to judge between the United States and Israel on one side and on the other side, Iraq, Afghanistan, Gaza?…(and let’s throw Iran in the mix to make it interesting).
Soooo, if I’m understanding myself correctly, we should ask God to judge between America/Israel and Iraq/Iran/Afghanistan and Gaza, it’s that simple. If we are as righteous as we whine and complain that we are, God will smite the other guys; however, IF we aren’t, we’re in deep baklava.
Think about it…this simple request would put an end to all the speculation about if we are doing “God’s will” or not, who the “evil doers” are and whether or not the notion of “liberating Iraq” was just a bunch of gas. So, who’s with me!?
