While I do agree that Iraq and Iran (both were part of Persia) do have a long and biblical history, that last bit is reaching. My dispute is that the attack of 09/11/01 has nothing to do with Iraq. There was no evidence found of Iraq aiding Osama Bin Laden (who is from Saudi Arabia) or the chemical warfare weapons President Bush insists upon telling us is there. Now, I do agree that Saddam Hussein is as evil as Stalin or Hitler and needs to pay for what he's done. But, since the powers that be in the US put him in power and allowed him to remain put the innocent citizens (including the military) in a position we did not need to be in.
My burning question is why has Washington refused to focus on the true enemy and perpetrators of the attack upon our soil? Why are those people still at large after 5 years? Why are our politicians fostering and yes, even AIDING these terrorist cells?
We really need to scrap our foreign policies and stay out of the politics of other countries. They don't like us and we don't need them or their resources, including oil.
By the way, there are other countries "represented" by the eagle including Germany and Russia (not the Soviet Union). And these things change over time from which these verses were written. How is it that a prophecy is discovered or deciphered only after the fact? What good is it then? The so called prophecy did not predict or prevent anything from happening.
Sorry to go on, but I am just sick of our men and women dying in vain for a cause perpetrated by our own President because his Daddy refused to finish the job the first time.
