What are/were we doing over there anyway? Are we such a great and noble people that we can understand which are the correct causes to take up on behalf of other people and fight their enemies for them? When we became a nation, we did it for freedom. And a great part of that freedom was freedom of religion - 1st Amendment. The peoples of Viet Nam and Iraq do not have the same religion. IF they did, God would take up their cause for them as He did ours for us. How did He do it for us? We won and became great. The wars we fight over there are for purposes other than the right kind of freedom. They are for the profit of our businesses who sell "parts" in the wars. Sure, God is working through what we do to bring the right religion to them. But like God won our freedom for us, He is winning their freedom for them only when they turn to Him. If WE win for them, it is only an incidental thing.
