Hi Thomas,
  An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
My friend, you may just be getting your prayers answered as we speak.  GOD is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.  The City of Bagdad in Iraq was the original city of Babylon.  What once began as a Tower to Heaven that was destroyed way back then is now in the process of being destryed once again.  These words as well as "Smite Thine Enemy." are written throughout the bible, however were these the word of GOD?, or were they the word of MAN in his interpretation of GOD's Word?  There always has to be a balance, and fighting evil with evil seems so much like an unbalanced way to do things.  Not all people in all countries agree with the ways that their particular country handles different matters, however as Loyal Citizens of those countries they are made to go to war to defend their countries.  In some countries, children just barely old enough to hold a gun (rifle) are made to defend their countries beliefs.  I honestly feel that if we continue to think in terms of Psalm 10:15, it will not be too long before citizens in all countries will be walking around with limbs missing,  eyes gouged out, arms severed and babies lying dead in the streets.  For every force of action there must be a counter force.  If we fight evil with evil, we become as they are.  If we fight hate with Love, we may have a better chance.  "Yeah though I walk through the valley of death, I shall fear no evil, thy Lord and thy staff shall confort thee."  I proclaim Love towards all, and peace to those that have troubled minds.  I realize that this is not the way that most people feel, however it is like putting out a fire by throwing grease on it.  God has given us the knowledge to appoint judges to the courts to try the evil doers.  We have police forces that bring the evildoers to justice.  Billions of GOD's people die each year for causes that they have no knowledge of.  All they know is that they are fighting for GOD.  We cannot Love and Hate at the same time, therefore, "Love thy neighbor as ye Love Thyself" is a commandment of GOD.  Unlike the United States of America where the only people that are put in harms way, all other countries that are engaged in warfare, every single citizen in those countries are subject to being killed.  A woman gathers her children around her, goes into the special room where an alter has been prepared, and prays for her's and her children's safety.  A bomb hits the house killing her and her children instantly.  What evil has she done?  Hatred and retaliation kills more innocent people than evil ones every day of the week. 
  America is a mixture of people from all over the world.  Walk into your Portuguese neighbors house, your Mexican neighbors house, Italian, Jewish, Croatian, almost any neighbor that has been forced out of their own country as the result of a war and you will find in at least eight out of ten of those houses, a Shrine set up dedicated to GOD.  What do you find in our (American) special room?  A computer.  In your prayer you asked GOD to Break the arm of the wicked and evil man; Call him to account for his wickedness that would not be found out.  And as it should be.  You cannot make an omelet without breaking some eggs.  I like my eggs sunny side up. 
  Shirley and I live in a complex with people from different walks of life as well as different cultures.  I was standing outside one day having a cigarette.  A car went by and I waved.  I did not know who they were, but I waved anyhow.  As time went on, I continued the habit.  One day, a man walked by from the other end of the complex.  I won't say what nationality because it really doesn't matter.  He saw me smoking a cigarette.  In a forceful tone, he demanded that I give him a cigarette.  A car was passing by at that time, the driver stopped, got out and rushed over.  He took the man aside and told him not to holler at me because I was his friend.  I handed him a cigarette, he apologized and walked on.  I shook the drivers hand, told him my name and he told me his.  I also thanked him for intervening.  He said that it was the least he could do for a friend.  This, my friend, is what GOD wants us to do because he created ALL THAT LIVES and Breathes.  I do hope that you do not mind my intervening on this, however I just don't feel that we can successfully combat evil with more evil.  This has been tried and failed for so long that we do need a new plan.

GOD BLESS YOU

Mike

You cant force anyone to do good and you cant make anyone change there religion even if there religion is for evil , i have a tough job here on the streets of carlsbad, in my oun family and from my past coming back (musician friends, actors) and over and over again i have to put forth what God did to me, i dont mind, its my job to do so, so there is a humbleness to Gods love that we recieve, there called natural disasters, not eveyone will ever be at peace until death do they part so as human beings we have an obligation to keep putting out that friendly gesture or that peace sign up on a daily bases if we are ever going to change our future, now the economy? thats a differant story, thats us Americans getting to greedy for ones good so we diserve whats coming to us as far as poverty goes. Speaking of America, the voting is coming up soon and i have to volunteer my time again as i have for the past 9 years or so as a Precinct Inspector, that means i have to go around town where the votings takes place and check to see how everything is running like a fine harley davidson but sometimes it does have some hangups lol. SO every voting year i have to keep up with the policys which is good for me because that way i know the truth if anyone comes up with some mis-quates or some mis-conseptions? im right there stating the facts just as i do with my Christian religion that i follow. we are still being killed after all these generations, we will never in my eyes be able to make peace with the iraqi government, but we must continue with the faith that God wants us to have, keep building within our oun familys and support our countrys who support us. I want to thank you Mike for your continued support in what is called an "Online" friend hehe. God_bless you my friend.
