Bush Changed Iraq for the GOOD....

I disagree. Christians and Jews have been driven out of Iraq by the thousands upon thousands since we toppled Saddam because we helped to set up an islamic state. Within days after the coalition forces leave, there will be civil war. These people are uncivilized - they prove their manhood by eating beating hearts out of live bunnies. Their religion (islam) is oppressive, agressive, and depressive to women and will regress to a taliban style once Westerners are gone and Sharia law is firmly in place without Western influence. Changing this country from a secular nation into an islamic state was a grave error Bush made and throwing billions of dollars (much of which is unaccounted for) without considering it loans to be paid back to US taxpayers out of oil profits was another grave error Bush made. I do not hate Bush, btw, but highly disagree with much of his foreign policy. The Shiites and Sunni will be at it again and I pray they don't turn on our troops who they are working alongside right now as our boots on the ground are withdrawn under Obama. Some Iraqi soldiers have already murdered our troops in cold blood, but it is not reported by the main stream media.

 

The same is true in Afghanistan! A Canadian soldier is killed almost every day by the very people they are handing gifts and food. I fear what will happen once we pull out in two years.

It reminds me of Korea. We fought and many died and after three years we were gone,,,,,,,,,,,,,and nothing changed. Just look at North Korea to-day!

Cheers,

I wonder how we can get accurate information on what's going on over there? I've heard missionaries stand in front of my church and say that preaching the Word is by far easier now and less prosecuted than it was under Saddam. They are still in danger, don't get me wrong, but they say the danger now is far less than it was.

So, who's right? I'm not saying that your information is wrong, but I'm really confused here. On one hand I hear reports like yours and on the other hand I hear reports like the missionaries. What's the real on the ground situation over there?

 

I suspect that you believe, as I do, the testimonies of our missionaries, over all others...

 

Of course this does not negate the after effects that LE talked about after we are no longer a prominent presence there.

Unfortunately, I tend to see this same scenario in the good ole US of A in the not too distant future - sans God's direct intervention.

 

If I had to guess, I would say that you could not be more accurate in your assessment of what is likely to happen in the future in Iraq.

 

Good for the million dead and the half million orphans?

 

Just look at South Korea today!

 

Here are a few links - the missionaries may represent some pockets where there is less danger now, but the news links are out there:
