Airstrikes in Iraq

        Obama has authorized airstrikes against Islamic Militants to protect Americans and help the Kurds.  I am not surprised that the extreme Sunnis were back at it again fighting with Shiites and the Kurds.  The militant Sunnis have a problem with being put out of power even though they were the minority religious group and they have always had a problem with Christians and the Kurds.  Although Saddam Hussein did protect the Christians from harm (most of them), but he still had a lot of fun targeting Shiites and the Kurds.

    I understand that a majority of Americans wanted us to withdraw out of Iraq and it happened in 2011. However, there was a belief that Iraq could become the new Vietnam.  American troops left Vietnam in 1973 because it was not favorable for the people.  After we leave North Vietnam attacks South Vietnam,  South Vietnam is forced to surrender, uniting the country again except under Communism.

     Iraq is not a country divided like Vietnam.  No it is much worse where extremists will stop at nothing to push their beliefs onto others until they have control.  This would not have happened if Americans had stayed a little longer and had diplomats working with the different factions and groups in Iraq to have a working relationship.  However, we were not given enough time because Obama was facing re-election and he wanted to look good for the people so he had the troops leave.  I understand that the Iraqis wanted us to leave but the original agreement was actually for 2014 for full withdrawal, but he wanted to look good for the election.

     All in all, we should not have left so abruptly.  Furthermore, if Americans had been paying attention you would have seen that the Sunni Extremists were building in power. They had took over the government of some cities and forced the people in those cities to follow extremists laws when it comes to morality and strict Islamic code.  The extremists slowly started gaining, however after full troop withdrawal in 2011 they were able to gain massive power and weapons for exactly what they are doing right now.  

     Americans and Europe blamed former President Jalal Talabani and current Prime Minister Nour al-Maliki for the reason the extremists are attacking the people because they say he did not work hard enough to establish peace with the Sunnis. However, the extremists do not speak for a majority of the Sunnis.  Yes he is to blame for some of the problem, but so is the United States and the United Nations.

   

In conclusion, everyone is to blame President Obama, former President Talabani, Prime Minister Nour al-Maliki, and United Nations because they did not do more to eliminate the extremists.  The extremists do not speak for the majority of the Sunnis. The extremists want power to force people to submit to their belief system.  Now the solution is to eliminate the leaders of ISIS because there is no way that peace is going to work at this point.  Point in case: extremists from any group that are attacking innocent people should be killed and shown no mercy.

Westboro Baptist Church

Westboro Baptist Church is one of the most evil churches to have exist and the most evil people go to that church.  They are hateful and spiteful people.  They claim that they are Christians, but they are not real Christians they are people that hate on gays , people that do not dress appropriately, they hate soldiers, and they hate America.  If some of you do not who they are they are the people that won the right to protest at a soldiers funeral, but cities have been making sure that they are kept at a distance.  They protest at a funeral to show that they died for a worthless America that supports homosexuals behaviors, attitudes, and actions.  They hate America for accepting homosexuals into society.  They call themselves Christians, but they are not because God would have never wanted us to hate on people like that.  The New Testament tells us to accept everyone and love our neighbors.  These people clearly have stuck to the Old Testament and have not read the new one.  Of course this is not a perfect world and we are all sinners, but these people are sick.  If they could I probably bet they would harm all the gay people and create a genocide out of it.  I think that if they were bigger and armed they would get just as bad as the Ku Klux Klan.  Thank goodness that we have a government that will prevent these people becoming a Hitler,  a Stalin, a Saddem Hussein, or a President Al-Saad because I think that they will kill everyone that is gay or does not follow the Bible, in which would be pretty much everyone.  

Honestly, I think that people need to protest them and I am down to go to TOpeka, Kansas and protest against them.  I would like to show up to a funeral that they are protesting at and counter their protest.  Raising American flags in their face.

You know what I think is kind ironic is the fact that they are protesting at a soldiers funeral, soldiers that fight to preserve this nation and fight to keep our rights.  The soldiers fight for their right to protest, keep any other nation from harming us.  

No one is going to make them change or change their minds, but we could show them that there is a strong opposition against them.  America is not going to change and the Christians are slowly going to accept that there are homosexuals.  The hardliners are going to be the only ones to constantly not accept this reality.  

This world is not perfect  and as Christians we are going to have to accept that reality.  We are all sinners, this world is never going to be perfe someone trying to dominate another country or group of people.

Nigeria

Like I said I was going to do I am going to talk about Nigeria. I know that it has been about a month since the Christian church bombings. However, I have something to say.

The Christians got attacked on Christmas day and a number of people did die during those blasts. Then the Christians retaliated by bombing an Islamic school.

I think that both sides are wrong for trying to hurt one another over their religious beliefs. No one should attack a church or a school, it is wrong for both sides. They should not try to harm one another. Definitely Christians should not do it because God would never want us to hurt one another like that. I know that every religion and one point in time has killed many people in the name of God. For instance, The Crusades.

I know the world is not perfect, but Jesus would never have wanted us to try to kill one another.

By the way, I acknowledge that there is not going to be complete peace on this earth and there is always going to someone killing another, I know that. However, you can try to better the world, but perfection will not be achieved.
