Your spiritual gun is more powerful than your real gun!

A dictator that attempts to impose aristocratic rule on a democratic free thinking society, is no more than a crazy loner. A loner talking to himself as others freely walk pass him! Any attempt to subdue the minds of a progressive society by anything other than creativity and the facilitation of dreams will always be met with resistance. When one decides to become a dictator in such a setting, his acceptance will still depend on his resume. To successfully subdue the people. Whether it be phyically or through legislative rule. This dictator must encompass all the great qualities that are consistent and represent of the people he is attempting to rule or govern. America has not seen such a dictatorship since the days of slavery. All such premises which have been rejected over and over again! Plans that didn't parallel with God's plan for peace and prosperity and harmonious living!

When I think about the war, I simply ask myself what is the long term goal?
Peace maybe. Structure and discipline are the only requirements of a functional government. I believe that the presence of a university the existence of a government and free trade are all the components of a successful government. Rules and law have always been enforced since the beginning of time. Everyone understands the penalties when laws are broken. I believe that Iraq was not a threat. I believe that control was evident and there was no need to engage in a war that resulted in as many casualties as we see today.

I believe that we are approaching a time where we have to look at our government and our system of rule. We have to look at why we fear the increase in military buildup and technology in other countries. I believe that we are putting up a second hand product as a country. Whereas the other countries are able to operate at 100% of there capabilities as a result of the unity present. The unity is void in America due to the pile on of legislation. Legislation that was implemented with good intentions but had bad results. A freedom that has made us the enemies of ourselves. Why can't we have a Republican president and a Democratic vice president or vice versa? The situation in desert storm is a perilous one. One that is not going to be repaired without the assistance of a supernatural power. Not a super power. God has always been the equalizer and the administrator of justice. He has always been the fuel that drove the engine of peace and opportunity. America has
always been the wisdom that lead the world. The United Nations played a role in the
stability of the World and served as a line of communication between World powers.
The people were the voice and the congressman relayed the desires of the people to the president. Together all these parts worked together to make this World what it
once was. A beautiful place that everyone dreamed to one day see thru travel.

President Bush is obligated to listen to the people, to the UN, to God and all the parties that are now directly and indirectly affected by this war. We need to have a place in the middle east. We need to know where the next enemy is coming from.
That was the purpose of embassies. That was the purpose of intelligence. We owe it to our citizens to return the troops home and leave with a stern warning. That warning being."We will be back!" with the support of all we can't and won't go wrong. We will have the support of the World. Yet when you are wrong you are wrong and you are unable to go all out. Time and time again it has been prov-en that God our spiritual gun is always more powerful than a real gun. We can't keep missing our date with destiny!
