There's No Place for Peace!

I have spoken to several people lately that do not believe in war. I mock those who are so naieve. You see, I believe in God and the insurmountable peace that comes from following the path laid out by our Lord God Almighty, but I also believe in Satan and the great power of the devil over the feeble-minded and power driven individuals here on our wonderful planet.

To quote the wonderful late 80's and early 90's band, They Might Be Giants, 'you can't shake the devil's hand and say you're only kidding.' In other words, if you are 'negotiating' with an individual who is evil, and I do believe there are evil people, you can not possibly believe that you can come to an agreement that will be anything but triumphant for the evil person. There may be varying degrees of evil, but still, if a person is evil, there really is no 'negotiating.' I consider a leader very disillusioned if he or she can look evil in the eye, work on making a deal with the evil person, and then assume things will turn out well, or that the result is not that bad.

You do not reach results with these people by talking to them, you reach results by eradicating them--and how do you eradicate someone who is protected by hundreds, thousands, or (China) millions of minions? You go to war! You must remove the evil leader and eradicate the brainwashed minions as well. Yes, I realize that people change, but at whose expense--and how many? The Israelites had it right when they eradicated the Canaanites. Do not marry the Canaanite women.

Please do not throw out the blanket statement to me anymore that 'war is bad!' There can be no definitive when speaking on such a sensitive and far reaching topic. I will admit that many skirmishes can be avoided by talking, but come on folks, there are radical Muslims out there right now that want to eradicate you and I as selfish and evil Americans, and I believe there are truly evil leaders among them and thousands of brainwashed minions that will not be 'changed.'

Besides, the problem with labeling a war as 'justified' or not comes down to information, and how much information do you really have on the war in Iraq or Afghanistan? I am guessing you received your info from the press, which we all know is omniscient and purely objective in their reporting. The truth is, you and I will NEVER know the top secret information that leads to any war, and therefore, we become little more than ignorant judges. The real way to determine whether the war is justified or not is to judge your leaders instead--and I don't just mean Bush, I mean all of them. Everyone that received the privileged information and had a hand in making the decision to enter the war.

So think about war with a more open mind. Pray for your leaders and vote for those you think are good people. Then you can support the decisions he or she makes. Always strive for the inner-peace that comes from following Christ or whatever other moral tenets you may have, but realize that not all strive to do good like you and I, and that means some conflict will always be necessary.
