What Really Is Going On

We like to think that what happened to Berg and the torture of prisoners in Iraq is the worst sort of nastiness that our troops are facing when in reality is only a part of a whole bunch of other nastiness that is happening.

One way to think about the nastiness of this war is to contemplate what would happen if America were invaded and what would we do. Remember that teen movie that came out in the early 80s called Red Dawn? It was about how a bunch of teenagers reacted to an invasion in America. I loved the movie then and it makes me think again, how would we feel about war if is was happening on our soil. What would be the Christian response if we were taken captive or if fighting on the streets and bombs blew up our houses and killed our children? Would we still shrug off the idea that collateral damage is a natural result of war? Or would we be outraged?

Here is a good article to help you remember what exactly is going on and it gives us something to think about.
