IRAQ

These photos are from Iraq, only a few months old. When it was mooted that Iraq was to be invaded, I was totally against this invasion. Mr Bush and others proceeded to influence the world to push ahead with the invasion idea, and strategy. I am deeply saddened that Mr. Howard has involved Australia in this crime.
In our land Australia it is a crime to injure people, to use force on another person, to carry weapons, to retaliate when attacked, to defend your property from an intruder. In fact you have to have your building set up so that if an intruder breaks in and something happens like fire, all the exits have to open from the inside with ease, because if they are injured you are at fault. So if this is the way Australians are to act, then why are we involved in the plundering of another nation and its people?
The evidence thus far is that the Iraq nation is in civil unrest, with the death toll climbing daily. The brutality of the opposition forces has been underestimated, and the initial invasion did nothing to produce a better way of reacting as a community. This war has brought shame on the Christian community as non-Christian communities flag this event by the Western World as a Christian backed enterprise of suffering.

How are we to say to these people in Iraq that a Christian does not operate this way?


Zech. 3:9-10
For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree. (KJV)
