My thought is that because we have laws that allow us to protect ourselves from those that seek to do us harm as well as rob us of all the things needed to survive. Other wise we would be as sheep led to slaughter, taken advantage of at every turn by those that neither believe or have any regard for others but them selves. Of course I will bring up the death of 6 million people in WW 2. Could you stand by and watch your own families lives taken from you before your very eyes and you still live and not raise a hand to try to save them? I am not a war monger by any means, but I believe there is a time and place otherwise we could be speaking German or have Oriental overlords in our lives right now. One other thing I do not think Zondervans had made it to that neighborhood yet.

It's a very good point Frank, I just after. My heart aches at the thought of those whose hands were forced from peace to war. To defends one life and family. In a similar vein to those in WW2, how the Iraqi people must have felt during their invasion. Those that saw their families killed before them and felt the need, albeit unwanted, to take up arms. God protect us from having to deal with such trauma but give us strength if we do.
