Lessons from the Afghan War

President Obama's decision to send more troops to Afghanistan has been described as "dangerous." It was pointed out that "parallels between Afghanistan and Vietnam are impossible to ignore." The President's speech has been labeled as "false," and the war itself as unnecessary, unsuccessful and unsolvable. But the most important lessons from the war have been completely overlooked.

It is terribly frustrating to see our nation destroying itself through war. The repercussions are grave, and the lessons ahead will be learned at devastating costs!

Very well said. Men does not know the way of peace. Great program

War always seems to be "glamorized" on TV, in the news and in the world . The horrors of war are real. You would think mankind would learn a lesson. But God will let us come to the point when war will be so real to ALL OF US, that if He didn't intervene, we would totally annihilate ourselves. What a horrible way to learn what God has already told us in His commandments,THOU SHALL NOT KILL, period! The world is being blinded by the perception of "just wars" by our leaders. Great Program!

Thank you for another fine program. We look forward to a time of peace, just around the corner now. It's very sobering to understand prophecy and comprehend how many lives will be lost between now and then.

As you say non peaceful means cannot bring peace. Only peaceful men using peaceful means obtain peace. This is because in reality there are no ends but only means. Therefore peaceful means = peace. God often uses evil circumstances and wicked men (those waging war et. all etc.) for His purposes. Those opposing God then unwittingly serve His will. In this situation the Afgan war probably will usher in a global war that will be the end of all wars & the coming of the Kingdom of Christ Jesus

We as the United States, did not go to start a war with the Taliban, we went there to capture the man that took down the world trade towers, and the pentigon. Now we are there killing people and we are not looking for Osama Bin Ladin? The leadership of our great nation have forgotten why we sent all them kids over there. If we think we can change the way Afghanistan people think, then we are trully a foolish people. They do not want our way of life.

Well said, May the time come soon when man will beat his wepons of war into usefull tools as the word of God ( the bible ) tells us, then we will have true peace and happeness.

Dear God, Obama is no longer my "hope". He is just following his masters. This is a man that i will no longer support.
