The sun never sets on wars financed with U.S. dollars. At every hour of the day or night someone is dying at the hands of those who control our government, and we American taxpayers pay for it.
George W. Bush recently claimed he is God’s man in the Republican Party, a Christian by profession, his life changed by Jesus Christ, he says. Mr. Bush wants to lead our nation as its president, as did his father. Bush is not alone in professing Christianity; all politicians seem to realize election is impossible without a split of the Christian votes. Bush’s father, former President George Herbert Walker knows this too.
Bush (the father) was quoted at an air base in Kuwait on January 19, 1999, where he told American servicemen, “I’m delighted that I’ve been invited out here today to salute you, who, in my view, are doing the Lord’s work.” Bush said to rapturous applause from 400 troops of the 332nd Air Expeditionary Group whose job it is to bomb people of Iraq daily. George Bush Junior should be asked if he views the bombing of women and children as the “Lord’s work.”.
People die at the hands of the unknowing American Taxpayer in Iraq every day, and there can be no doubt that our leaders know. Our government does not deny the facts of the killing, which number about 4,000 children a month from starvation and deprivation alone. Hundreds of humanitarian minded persons have visited Iraq in spite of every effort by the US Government prevent them.
One of these many voices is Zachary Fink who traveled to Iraq last July with members of “Voices in The Wilderness,” a nonprofit anti-war group. Fink is one of many who have traveled to Iraq with the group, which has reportedly made twenty-five sojourns there to deliver food and medicine to the Iraqi people. In doing so each witness openly violated U.S. law, which prohibits unauthorized transactions in Iraq. Mr. Fink captured the tragedy on a small digital camera and on his writing pad. He, like hundreds of others, witness to the destruction of villages, farms and innocent live left by American built bombs and missiles launched by the very men Mr. Bush Sr. claims to be doing “God’s work”…
While the US bombs are falling on the starving people of Iraq, the people of Chechnya are the willful target of planned annihilation by the Russians. The missiles differ, but the money is the same. American dollars pay for the Russian attack, for Russia is one of the largest recipients of U.S. foreign aid, supposedly given to it to keep non-communists in power. That money is going to pay for war as surely as if Russian artillery shells were made in the USA. Russia has been a foreign aid recipient since the middle 1990s, in amounts of up to $790 million a year, or more. These billions do not go for peaceful redevelopment of the Russian people, but do maintain a corrupt Yeltsin-Putin bureaucracy in power. We taxpayers have unknowingly funded two political wars since 1994 against the freedom seeking population of ethnic non-Russians in Chechnya.
The American’s foreign aid map spans the world taking in about 120 countries. In addition, the United Nations is financed primarily by the U.S. Taxpayer. It maintains armies on active duty in upward to 25 countries everywhere under the sun, and almost every one of these is a war zone, from Uganda to Indonesia.
Truly, the sun never sets on wars financed by U.S. dollars. Will Christian professing George W. Bush stop all of this if he becomes our president? How does he feel about his father’s statements, the bombing and shelling of a helpless and starving population 10 years after they were destroyed militarily in Bush’s unauthorized war? Does he too believe that bombing starving children is “God’s work?”
There is one even more important question. If the votes of Christians are so important that politicians must cater to them, why does not every Christian know it? Americans must ask why our media Celebrity Christians have not told us the facts of war. They have the means to alert much of churchgoing world in minutes. Can we expect the younger Bush to be more moral than our church leaders?
Heads Up!
Perhaps you should ask them.
