God would absolutely have use defend ourselves. No question. If the foreign powers are invading our territory, and attacking and killing us, then we should defend our families.

That was why I supported the war in Afghanistan. It was clear that those responsible for 9/11 were being harbored by the Taliban, and they refused to turn them over.

However, I would not expect God to support our war in Iraq. Saddam Hussein had NOTHING to do with 9/11. The terrorists weren’t there, and they were no threat to us. Now people can argue (as we all know they do) that we did at the time think they were a threat, but clearly now they weren’t. If we are going to invade another country, we had better be dang sure that they are a threat to us, and I personally don’t believe we met that criteria.

So personally?? I think God would be ok with our action in Afghanistan, and not so much with our action in Iraq.
