Remember when evil Saddam was in charge and Christians could walk down the street in safety.
We sure fixed that problem.

When Saddam was in charge no one walked down the street in safety. People were grabbed all the time by his police and security forces for little or no reason. There are torture cells and mass graves with all over Iraq. Hundreds of thousands of people were rounded up and killed by Saddam. Oh yea people were really safe then......**sarcasm**

The surge was not meant to cause Islamics to like infidels. That is impossible. The surge was meant to give a fledgling democracy a chance to survive. So far that has worked. Crimes will still be committed as in any country. The fact is, killing infidels is not a crime in Islam. The Iraqi government will never put anyone on trial for these killings. bin Laden himself said "you fear death, we love death."

"We don''t know under what religion''s pretexts these terrorists work."

The Christian don''t understand what pretext terrorists hate and kill. The terrorists are supported by a civilization that condones hatefulness and killing they use fear to seek control and oppress by manipulating rules. They blame the West for their struggles in life so they don''t have to take responsibility for their own behavior. Karmically, they bring their own destruction.

And here we are, engaged in the largest transfer of wealth from the West to Muslim countries in History.

Oil!!!! Its always all about Oil. We need to get off our oil addiction so that we can let these people kill each other en mass if that want too. And it won''t affect us a bit.

Then, the Christians in the Middle East can come here, and leave the rest of that region to ROT!!!!!

Its been said by someone (not sure who) that the Christians who are killed specifically for believing the God of the Bible have become the seed of the church. One is killed and many more sprout up. Killing true Christians will only spread to greater faith in Jesus, plus it will weed out the fakes, or convert them.

They will have to sprout up somewhere else. There are few Christians left in most Muslim countries. The Muslims have been eliminating Christians in Muslim countries for years. They are not welcome there. The same happened to the Jews in Muslim countries.

Gotta clear ''em out for Nimrod''s return in 2012. The whole reason we''re there in the first place. According to paranormal paranoia theory.

The surge, which I championed, has succeeded especial in Mosul. Today Iraq is peaceful because of the surge. Soure: Senator John McCain.

Yep, these Christians were living for thousands of years here, but then the US comes to liberate them and they now have to flee.

Guess that''s why they were celebrating in the streets of Baghdad and toppling Saddam''s statue heh? How quickly you forget.

Saddam was an evil dictator who murdered his own citizens for not adhering to his rule. He needed to be taken out, as even most liberals (INCLUDING JOE BIDEN) agreed with.

QUIT changing RECENT history.

Very true, and Christ told us this was going to happen:

Matthew 24:9
"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.

StopSocialis said: "You...don''''t know who Jesus Christ indeed is. "

Despite his message I daresay his followers have done more mischief to their fellow man in his name than the followers of Allah. We are judged by our actions, not our words.


----------------------------------------

They were not Christ followers. They killed any legitimate Christ followers, those who walked the walk, and falsely called themselves Christians. Thus, they participated in the dirtiest of Satan''s works: to make Christianity look hypocritical by not being sincere in their beliefs.

Many think we should not have got involved in the middle east ,leave them alone and they will leave us alone is their philosophy. Many also had similar thoughts about getting involved in ww2 till the attack on pearl harbor shattered their illusions with a startling dose of reality. The threat of islamist ideology forced on us with war and terror is very real, make no mistake about it. Just as pres. Roosevelt was justified in declaring war on Japan after the pearl harbor attack,so was pres. Bush right to declare war on terrorists after 9/11.
If you don''t take care of the problem, the problem will take care of you.
