Vietnam Again...

Hey everyone sorry for not writing in so long I have been busy and have not found anything really worthy of blogging about for a while but now I have something.
I believe that we can learn much about how to live now if we look at history and try to learn from it to not make the same mistake twice.
I also believe we should stay in our current state in Iraq until the country is settled and we can leave in good conscience.
Nobody likes wars. Nobody. However they do unfortunately have to be fought. Theodore Roosevelt knew that and said this: Wars are, of course, as a rule to be avoided; but they are far better than certain kinds of peace. TR
Wars have to be fought which is why it is so aggravating to see the cretins of society creep out of their holes and wave their idiotic peace flags and UN banners (they are obviously unaware that the UN is really, only an orginization to be ridiculed anymore)in protest to the war.
They do this country no favors what so ever. The contempt I hold this people in is acute. They cause this country to break down from the inside and make us a laughing stock before the nations we are fighting. They do the soldiers they want to bring home nothing, infact they most likely endanger them more by showing terrorists that if they can just kill enough soldiers the contemptible doves in this nation will force the government to pull out our troops.
This article is the basis for this post so you should read it to see where I am coming from.
This war is reminiscent of the conflict in Vietnam. We have the traitorous radicals waving their flags and marching in protest, we have a war we are going to have a hard time winning if we cannot risk lives, and we have a conflict we cannot exit without losing all the ground gained.
We never seem to learn from the past. These peace people are abimonable traitors and cretins. They hold this nation and her soldiers in no respect to dishonor them by campaigning against all their efforts. You may think me a little extreme. I think not

Ishbane Conspiracy

I just finished a great book by author and pastor Randy Alcorn called the Ishbane Conspiracy. This book is the sequel to another book by Alcorn, Lord Foulgrin's Letter's. Both these books are written in novel form with every chapter followed by a letter either from a demon who who has been assigned to the characters in the book or a mentor demon. In the Ishbane conspiracy the letters are from a demoted Lord Foulgrin or Prince Ishbane, Foulgrin's mentor. The book mirrors the Screwtape Letters a little bit when the demons write to each other, only the letters are a lot easier to comprehend than those in the Screwtape Letters.
The book follows the lives of four friends, three of whom are seniors in high school and one of whom is a freshman in college. Two of the three high schoolers dabble in the occult, one of them is a christian in name only, and the college freshman is a strong christian. We follow these four as their lives take all sorts of twists and turns, some good and some bad.
This book was well written and exciting. If any of you have read any other books by Alcorn, liked the Screwtape Letters or are looking for an enjoyable read I highly suggest this book.
