WASHINGTON – In a July 25 story, The Associated Press reported that former CIA Director Michael Hayden told CNN's "State of the Union" that U.S. military action against Iran now "seems inexorable." A spokeswoman for Hayden responded that he made his reference to Iran's push toward acquiring a nuclear program and not to military action.

    Bombing every country we're afraid of will not solve our problems, let alone bring peace. We know that "love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" is a teaching of Jesus, but we should also remember that Jesus made no promises that our enemies and persecutors would then see the error of their ways and love us back. Nope. We know what happened to Jesus when he lived according to that law of love. That's why our government cannot act on true Christian principles without putting national security at grave risk. Jesus did not care about personal security, and that's a tough lesson to accept.

    A little ancient history: in the eighties (the 1980s, that is) we gave hand-held Stinger ground-to-air missiles by the truckload to the "brave mujahadeen freedom fighters" who were resisting the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. In 2001 those same mujahadeen arranged to have a some jet planes fly into some buildings. We don't call them "freedom fighters" any more - now we call them "Al-Qaida" and "Taliban" and "Insurgents". They are currently shooting leftover war-surplus Stinger missiles at U.S. aircraft in Afghanistan, but luckily they haven't had much success as the weapons are fairly obsolete.

    The point is, I think we should be very careful who we sell weapon systems to. People who we think are our friends today may not be tomorrow (and they may not be our friends today, either). There could very well come a day when those Patriot missiles are used against us.

    Kuwait military loves the U.S., but the average Kuwait citizen hates the western world. Our soldiers stationed there are not even allowed to view the city because of them not wanting to see us in their country. Slavery is still legal in Kuwait. America needs to pull back from all of the middle east and focus on our selves. Focus on weapons of defense and destroy any nation that attacks us with a nuke.

    People die for liberty, freedom and rights, people fight wars to have liberty, freedom and their rights, law is suppose to protect the rights of all equally so it keeps the peace. When law fails to protect the rights of all equally you have wars and crime, when people fail to teach their children all are equal with equal rights to life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness they have created hate in their children.
    So who taught all not to accept one another as an equal, who taught so many to hate? Who do you hate, who can’t you accept as an equal with equal rights, how about a woman is she equal to a man, many say no she isn’t. How many hate a woman who has an abortion, the ones that marry the same sex, gays in general, how many hate and refuse to accept a prostitute has the right to sell sex and the nudist has the right to be nude in public or a woman can breast feed her baby in public? How many hate drug users and support law that injures them and their right to use drugs, who protects them, what law protects them and the others people refuse to accept as equals with equal rights? How many hate a religion? How many feel they have the right to kill, injure another and the rights of another, how many feel that war is not killing?
    So who taught all to hate, Jesus said I know you were taught to hate but he said to love one another instead, how many hate Jesus because he stood and stands with the oppressed? Who do you support oppressing, suppress the smoker, the drug user, the gay, the nudist and the woman, the prostitute you all have to face God just as I do, what are you going to say when God asks you why you didn’t accept all as equals with equal rights and the law that protects the rights of all equally, why did you oppress another, what are you going to say?
    All are judged by the law of liberty you know. Why are there so many problems, it is easy to see why, this one refuses to accept that one as an equal with equal rights.

    It's almost gay to pressure Iran on human right issues and think that it might help the opposition and count on it to work. What needed is a military strike that will put the entire blame on the Mullas and hopefully break Iran into a few smaller states.

    Three Cheers for the US Government!!!
    Arm the world with "Made in China" .. I mean "assembled in the US" missiles.
    This will promote world peace for sure, no doubt about it.
    I hope there is a kill switch on it, just in case these missiles are fired on American troops in the years to come.
