What I merely pointed out was that they are bound to warn before declaring war. They have repeatedly warned. Each attack is an escalation, and considering history of American folks turning from God do certainly state that this nation shall not continue to stand but will disintegrate.
Will not the preachers work harder for Christ, or will they continue to view America as so powerful it is un-defeatable?
Who even knows the last stanza of the national anthems that answers the question the other stanzas ask? -

Islam- 2 branches
- Sunni
- Shi’a
You know this right? -
God’s hand of preservation has moved so that evil flourishes. The restraints of the Word and work of the Holy Spirit are quenched as people turn from God to seek pleasure and perversion, and no plague or pestilence has brought national repentance.
America once flourished because God could use this nation, but the nation turned from God.
How will it happen?
This is my opinion.
First economically. Wealth and health will be taken away because folks rely upon such.
As a result infrastructure and communication will be disrupted to the point distrust will be the norm.
The strength of the military will fail, because might rests upon economics, and the current debt is no longer sustainable.
City structures will fail, and hunger will abound, starvation will bring horrible diseases even flight and murder.
Ultimately, everyone will do “what is right in their own eyes.”

Ultimately do they both not rely upon teachings from the Quran?
How many branches are found in Christianity? More than two?
Do they not have lines of demarcation, yet under one banner in the eyes of the world? -

OK, good that Fox News covered the people's discontent with the Iranian regime. But how far back did Fox go in their background? The stories I read were about protests on corrupt government and on the economy. But that is not an invitation for us to intervene.
BTW many of the sites I've read routinely go back to the events of 1979, rightly so. But very few give the history of the 50's in Iran. Iran's president was Time's Man of the Year (1952, I think). He was billed as the "George Washington of Iran". But, like our George Washington, he showed some initiative and independence. He naively believed President Truman's glib promise of letting countries find their own way toward democracy. He quit being the puppet of Britain and the US. That is when the US (under Eisenhower) stepped in and reinstated the previous leader, the corrupt Shah Pahlavi. And he stayed in power for many years. (I remember his pilots were being trained in Lackland AFB when I did basic back in 75.)
The protests in 79 were not basically a desire for a return to Islam. A great part of it was a protest against our machinations in their affairs. They had enough of our puppet-making. And of course, Khomeini was politically astute enough to benefit from that volatile discontent.
The Iranians have legitimate reasons for hating the US, sad to say, dating back at least to the 50's. And we keep giving them more reason. -

Actually the taking over of the country was a decade earlier. It was Wallace Murray from the State Department who admitted:
"The obvious fact is that we shall soon be in the position of actually “running” Iran through an impressive body of American advisers..."
Murray, just like several advisors in the current situation, insisted that Iranians would welcome our overlording. But other sources tell a different story. -
Or safer to say Christianity is opposed to Islam.
Or actually, safest to say Christianity is opposed to EVERY other religion on the planet as Jesus testifies that HE and HE alone is the only hope of salvation.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
So of course they are opposed to Christianity.
Similarly they are opposed to Judaism because Judaism claims there is no God but Jehovah:
Isaiah 45:5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
I also admit from historical evidence that "Christianity" has not always acted very Christlike down through the ages past.
Yes I know President Obama once made this observation bringing it to our attention for which he was rebuked.
However even when those with whom we don't agree make a truthful observation should we not acknowledge it?
He spoke concerning the Crusades and perhaps the Spanish and Latin Inquisitions.
So now the apologists will come on the stage and argue that they who were in authority over these bloodbaths were not "true Christians" which defense rings hollow in the ears of Moslems as do their defenses in ours.
Ipso facto Religious wars.
There is an "however": Nations are presumed righteous to defend themselves from external attack. -

O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! -
