is it all oil?
why are we in iraq? was my friend sent to iraq to stop oppression, to maintain my american 'rights' or to make my next stop at superquick a cheaper fill up? if we are staying in iraq to help the iraqis set up another competitive, money-driven, "safe" society -- why aren't we doing the same in haiti, where renegades rule the streets with their firearms? why isn't america offering our protection to provide the haitians with a fair, controlled election? the u.s. government was asked to provide such assistance but said no multiple times. oh, yeah, the haitians don't have clean water either. any ideas?

Sorry Travis, I didn't even realize I didn't leave my name. This is Jamie Parry. I had not read your 4 or 5 replys back and forth about our speaking out in goverment until just now. I agree that we are too concerned with personal rights when we speak out. But we definetely need to speak out to our goverment. Paul used his status as a Roman citizan to its fullest potential (sp?) to help spread the message of Christ. America is undeniably one of the strongest nationest the world has seen. It has a great power and Christians of America, I think, have a responsibility to help try and direct where that powered is aimed. If it is aimed at us (in a bad way), oh well. Rome aimed at us (Christians) and we survived and even thrived. But there is a lot of good that this power can be aimed at and we need to help aim the good that it can do to those who need it most. Ok, I'll leave it at that for now. Blessings, Travis.
