I think you mean Aramaic, not Ahmaric (which is spoken in Ethiopia) and *puts Landover hat on* JESUS SPOKE ENGLISH but no one else did at the time so maybe he spoke some Aramaic to be understood

Indeed He did. Just read the King James Version of the Bible--every sentence Jesus spoke was in English except one. The Bible wouldn't lie to us.

You are absolutely wrong with that, invading Iraq was the worst thing we could do. Invading Iraq only made the situation in the middle east far worse. Saddam was a bad man, but he was the only person in Iraq who was keeping the country together with his iron fist. George H. W. Bush stated multiple times the reason why he didn't topple Saddam was because Iraq will devolve into a failed state ruled by warlords, and he was absolutely right about that. The power vacuum that was left after we overthrew Saddam made it very easy for terrorist organizations to gain great power with Saddams abandoned arsenal of weaponry, one of the groups was al-Qaeda and they set a group called al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) which eventually transformed into the group ISIS. If we invade Iran and overthrow the current government there, try to imagine Iraq but 10 times worse.

You're making them drool thinking of the rebuilding contracts.










Paid for with Iranian oil, ofc.

And the weapons market - don't forget the industrial military complex! Wars are just so much more profitable than peace: someone makes and sells bombs, someone gets paid to bomb stuff, someone gets paid to build new stuff to replace what was bombed, rinse and repeat, etc.

For whom?

When under explicit attack from a self-identifying assailant, that is the whole point one's response. As long as they're busy murdering one another they can't spare their attention to murder anyone else. Maybe a lone wolf - that would be the purpose of Christ's assigning a higher priority to weapons than to clothing. Perhaps if you disagree with Jesus you could explain why?
