The poor Iranians....

They are having such a hard time starting a real war    . . . . .

Yes. Declared, but they never put it into practice.... well, at least not in the conventional romantic Hollywood style kind of war

Ever heard of "The mouse that roared"?

Taking our embassy employees back in the 70's empowered them.

Hi Ruth,

In my opinion arming Iraq was a much more effective way than kidnapping innocent Americans!

Set a thief to catch a thief you know.

Only when Saddam seized Kuwait and threatened the oil fields,  in other words dreamed of an atomic bomb did Saddam put a foot wrong!  In otherwords biting the American hand that was feeding him did we have Saddam being caught between a rock and a hard place re the Iraq-Iran war!

Yours in Christ,

Colin,

Clever , in other words Saddam fought the Iran war for us...but when he seized the oil fields he went too far

[Colin2000]

Hi Olivet,

Yes I am afraid so!  Far to far!

Now Iran who is steeped in Colonial memories along with Syrian French terrify is going the same way!

It is almost a replay of Empire, French, British and American Nineteenth Century stuff.

Without the experienced diplomatic Corps. of those empires, trade restraints, and native soldiers/canon fodder on the ground to control it!

Socialism Left and Right kinds, tried and failed fed on by the masses is not helping very much either,  thinking masses with mob rule for example in Arabia/England/America not a good idea regarding the Bureaucratic Dictatorships (BD.), operating under the cloak of democracy!

Bad debt, we used to know it as hire purchase, especially in the housing markets where there has always been a tool to buy the house you live in! It is always risky borrowing money to buy your house when the money market swings out of  control and dries up or by dishonest landlords manipulating things as of now???....!

But of course things may not be as bad as they seem depending on whether that BD. amongst us takes fright or not when the Middle Classes are seen to be under attack by the Taxman in Government in the name of Maiman when the money flow dries up!!!....!

But let us not take our eyes and ears off Jesus perhaps?  There is real hope there for us!  But to the sinning Maiman unbeliever or those who believe in a God without the Redemptive promise of Jesus, Father, Son, HolyGhost we have societies built on shifting sand now without the stability of and injected of fear of God's wrath rather than God's love?

No revelation in their religions as they worship their unknown God or Maiman himself/itself,

Yours in Christ and His Promised Everlovingtenderkindness,

Colin.

It's no better here than the Great Depression except for food stamps replacing bread lines and remember it all ended when we entered WW11...the military fed our men k rations and sent them off to war ending joblessness and jobs manufacturing tanks and bombs created a whole new industry, the military industrial complex.......The latest new industry is our Congress where in it's members serve to grow wealthy for themselves creating a new oligarchy instead of defending and protecting We The People

The new banks are nothing but money changers, many not functioning as banks at all.  Jesus recognized them and so should we...when they entered the Temple Precincts He whipped them and overturned their tables...."My house shall be a house of prayer"......Peter when before entering the temple saw the beggar and healed him...."In the name of Jesus, arise and walk....He offers us a better alternative, provision and healing in the power of His word is the Mighty One of Israel
