Whose War Is This?

Whose War Is This?

As I sit here in my study, thinking about the world situation right now, there’s a nagging feeling that tells me I’m only seeing the tip of the iceberg.

What makes me uneasy is how much is hiding under the surface?

Let’s start this off with this: My apprehension of starting a war with Iran does not change the fact that I support most of what President Trump is and has been doing in our country.

You can support someone without agreeing with them all the time.

That’s called being a healthy human being.

I know that won’t stop some of you from digging at me, but I’m not here to convince anyone I’m right, you’re wrong, or that the president doesn’t know what he’s doing.

I’m concerned, for me, this doesn’t add up.

Is it a war?Sure looks like one to me.

But who wanted this war?

I don’t think Trump did; his message all along has been against war.

He ran on it.

And despite what some of you think, I believe Trump really is a leader who seeks peace and opposes forever wars.

So why are we doing this?

What is this war really about?

The blame is being placed on the idea that Iran is close to developing a nuclear weapon.

But is that true?

That same thing has been said for decades, and they still don’t have one.

The humanitarian reason doesn’t add up for me either.

Iran leadership has been treating its people horribly for decades.

Why all of a sudden are we interested in women’s rights, gay rights, and just human rights in Iran?

We never did anything before.

We knew it was going on.

Seems a bit suspect.

Sounds like an excuse.

Who benefits the most from this war?

Is it the United States?

I don’t think so.

Is it the people of Iran?

Right now, it all sounds good.

People seem happy to be free, but will they stay that way?

Did America really want this war?Did our government really make the decision, or were they pushed into it?

Who benefits most from it?

How do the other nations in the Middle East feel about the United States for its decision to bomb Iran?

Does it bring us closer or show them they can’t trust us?

I heard an interview with our leaders, and they admitted that more Americans will probably die in this conflict.

If we don’t know who this war is for, are we willing to let more of our soldiers die?

Experts quietly talk of future ramifications of what just happened and what is likely to be the result.

Complete and utter chaos in the Middle East is what I’m hearing, and some in that neck of the woods would like to see that.

Chaos creates weakness, and when a country can’t sustain itself, takeover.

Power is power.

Could that be one of the reasons this is happening?

Destabilization.

How does creating havoc in that part of the world benefit the United States, or does it?

Who benefits from chaos in that part of the world?

Do you believe that the leadership of Iran was “taken out” and the country will be allowed to set up its own new government?

I hear that being touted, but I have my reservations.

Do you topple a government and give it the freedom to change or go back to what it was before?

(look at history)

I love my country.

I respect my president.

Trump is a great negotiator, and I know the reason given for the attack is that talks were going nowhere, but I can’t help but wonder.

I have no ill will towards any country in the Middle East.

It’s easy for folks to call names, label, and make accusations for asking questions, and they will.

Another good question is, why are people so obsessed with our questions?

I hear a lot of people touting the Bible as a reason for the conflict.

I even read where some are saying this is God’s will.

Maybe it is, but if the basic reason, the premise for all of this, is based on a lie, my Bible tells me God’s not in that.

Truth sets us Free.

God seems to be pretty tough on liars, especially when it destroys his favorite creation, mankind.

It feels like all of a sudden we are in a war with no exit plan, and if you don’t buy the “reasons” being given for this war, if they seem too simplistic and a bit on the propaganda side of things, what then?

We’re back to that question: Whose war is this?
