Day Three of Gulf War II
Just found another blog, which I found interesting to read:
On Government and Freedom
I also looked at the White House Iraq War Page and found some interesting press quotes. While I can't really say they all really exist, I do draw comfort that we are doing the right thing. I also found an intesting link on the bottom of the page on the timeline of what happened in Iraq since the first Gulf War.
Finally, for those of you who have never read it, here is the text of UN Resolution 1441, calling for Iraq to disarm or face the consequences. Here you can read that "the Council has repeatedly warned Iraq that it will face serious consequences as a result of its continued violations of its obligations". This was adopted by the UN on November 8, 2002. Notice I said the UN, not just the US and UK...!
I think history will ultimately tell us whether disarming Saddam Hussein's regime by force was the right or the wrong path, but I do trust that God is sovereign in all of this. Nothing is allowed to happen outside of His will. We are studying "The Case for Faith" by Lee Strobel in our Sunday School class. One of the things discussed there is that God sometimes chooses the short-term (seemingly) evil course to secure the greater and long-term good for all.
Interesting thought to leave you with for the night.
In Christ,
Elke
