Worst violence since U.S. pullback hits Iraq

"There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked." Christians and Muslims of all sects have left IT IS WRITTEN and followed blind leaders in religion and politics.

Both sides believe in the DAY OF JUDGMENT, yet neither seems to realize they are in it. They are the infidels because they "say Lord, Lord, and do not what I say." God is His word and only being one with the word of God will end these wars.

The nations have turned to bondage again, selling themselves (employment) for things that destroy the earth and their bodies, going after vanity and pride, seeking false riches. . God's goal for us is a garden paradise lifestyle where we love God and He waters our gardens so we have fresh foods and good health to enjoy our families together and our communities. Life is easier than we are making it and we better change course while we still can. God said it will get worse until we turn to Him in truth.

Marie, your god is so impotent he needs us to return him? Why be concerned over such a wimp?

Obama, Moveon.org, George Soros, UCLA, and others will be comforted to know we are out of Iraq. God bless those people of Iraq who just want peace and to live their lives in freedom.

rtp | 3:44 p.m Most liberals attend college. The date for pulling out was set by George Bush. Why let facts ruin a rant against liberals?

If you look at complex adaptive systems, which a government is. You could call government a meme. A meme is a cultural unit. A government adapts to govern the people within its boarders. There was a reason Iraq government was draconian. If their is no intimidation in this tribal couture there is tribal infighting.

The conservative Pax Americana model in the Middle East was based in WWII and Europe. If you lived in Europe. You would have seen Europeans are more orderly than us Americans. In Germany, everyone cleans their porch on a certain day. You can set your watch on train rivals.

After the war ended, Europeans weren't in to fighting civil wars. They worked to return civility and order to their cultures.

A understanding of Anthropology teaches you you must look at at people within a cultural context.

I've seen this in Mormon culture. Many tradition Mormon foods are English or Scottish. This is a cultural artifact from these people coming to Utah in the 19th Century.

You have fallen for the Hopenchange hype.

We still have plenty of troops in Iraq, and if our experiences in Germany, Japan, and Korea are any indication, they will still be there when The Chosen One leaves office in 2013.
