Well I'm not surprised the US is being made into the big bad wolf again.
Again Assad has more enemies than just the ISIS. Russia & Assad & Iran are all each other's allies.
There were peaceful protests against the Assad Regime
that sparked the chaos in the first place. This Arab spring happened in lots of countries, American can't take responsibility for it all.
They were wrong to bomb Iraq of course.
The middle east seems to need dictators to keep the terrorists under control. Its a desperate situation.
Both Assad & Putin & Iran have no trust in the 'west' and western values so I'm not surprised to hear this.
I don't really like to think about it too much anymore to be honest. I just pray that God will get justice that's all I can do.
Read another worrying development today. Honestly I think this refugee crisis calls for nothing short of absolute saint hood from us all.
Unconditional love & mercy & self- sacrifice & trust to have hospitality for strangers and loving our enemies.

Looks like peace is going to be put at risk.
I truly struggle to love my enemies. I feel uncomfortable around them & tend to avoid if at all possible.
I'm not always going to turn the other cheek & let them strike the other one. I'm not going to let myself be subjected to it.
I'm not going to put up with people trying to dominate & Lord it over me with a superior authoritarian attitude & arrogance.
I don't think God wants that for us either. I'm going to protect myself.
Still pessimistic about it all here.
Anyone know how to love their enemies?
