My mother always told me that if you can’t do something right and win – try something else that you like and are good at and can win.
Why can’t we get it right if we are going to help countries to win their freedom?
There is no freedom of religion except in the U.S. and that only happened when President Trump was elected. Obama brought in sharia law and Islam, dumped the Constitution/freedom of religion without the consent of the people and became a lawless nation. How can we help others, if we are doing the same thing?
All churches outside of the U.S. are STATE CHURCHES.” It looks like there is no “genuine democracy.”
So, what is the purpose of the U.S. fighting in these wars when after we are supposed to have won – the countries go back to the way they were – fighting each other as noted below.
The plague of the “state church” is endemic to Islam — nothing else is allowed. That fact makes the establishment and survival of genuine democracy in either Afghanistan or Iraq almost impossible. It will take a miracle of God if it occurs.
The Iraq war has cost the United States $845 billion and has had $3 trillion of an effect on the US economy. The United States has lost 4,477 soldiers and has had 31,965 soldiers wounded. However, the effect has been much larger on Iraq.
The Afghanistan War is a military conflict that began in 2001 and has cost $1.07 trillion. The Bush administration launched it in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks by al-Qaida. As of July 7, 2018, there have been 2,372 U.S. military deaths in the War in Afghanistan. 1,856 of these deaths have been the result of hostile action. 20,320 American service members have also been wounded in action during the war.
We saw what happened in Afghanistan. It was the same satanic ploy of a state church all over again. We gave billions of dollars to the Mujahadeen (jihad “freedom” fighters) to repel the Soviets—but when the jihadists took over, they proved to be even more ruthless enemies of freedom.
We rescued the Afghan people from Communist totalitarianism only to subject them to an even more vicious and restrictive Islamic dictatorship under the Taliban. Afghanistan became a breeding ground and training center for a terrorism that spread its violence worldwide and had to be stopped.
Eventually, the Taliban used its weapons against the very “friends” who had supplied them.
The same double-cross had already happened in Iraq; yet we had not learned our lesson. We gave billions of dollars to Saddam Hussein to fight against Iran and its Shi’ite government. Then we had to fight Saddam, and, of course, he aimed at us the weapons we had supplied.
The gravest danger in Iraq today is that after all the blood that was shed to bring “freedom,” we may find that we have merely traded Saddam’s secular dictatorship for an equally ruthless Islamic Shi’ite government.
Again, the plague of the “state church” is endemic to Islam—nothing else is allowed. That fact makes the establishment and survival of genuine democracy in either Afghanistan or Iraq almost impossible. It will take a miracle of God if it occurs.
Following is the latest information on the inter-fighting in Iraq with hundreds being killed during last week.

BAGHDAD (AP) – The Latest on anti-government protests in Iraq (all times local):
9 p.m.
Iraqi officials say seven anti-government demonstrators have been killed in ongoing protests in the capital Baghdad and 17 wounded.
A medical official in a local hospital and a security official said the seven were killed on Sunday in Sadr City, where hundreds have gathered trying to break through a security cordon to head to the city center. The officials didn’t provide details. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to reporters.
Security forces had sealed off Tahrir Square and heavily deployed all the way to Sadr City, about 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) away to keep protesters back.
Earlier, an Associated Press reporter on the scene saw soldiers firing in the direction of protesters to push them back. There were scuffles as protesters tried to break through the cordon and burned tires.
Iraq has been beset by protests since Tuesday.

8:05 p.m.
An Iraqi Interior Ministry spokesman says an investigation is underway to determine the source of live fire that killed many of the more than 100 people who have died during six days of unrest in the country.
Spokesman Saad Maan claimed Sunday that local security forces did not clash with protesters. He said at a press conference that “malicious hands” were targeting protesters and security forces as well on Friday, the bloodiest day of the unrest in Baghdad.
At the time, protests were broken up as security forces fired live ammunition at the anti-government rallies.
Protesters and journalists at the scene of the protests say they witnessed security forces firing on demonstrators and some protesters say snipers were taking part in breaking up the protests. Maad said most of those killed Friday were hit in the head and heart.
Protests have raged in Baghdad and southern cities since Tuesday. Maan said 104 people, including 8 security members, have been killed in the six days of unrest.

Iraq’s Interior Ministry spokesman says 104 people, including 8 security personnel, have been killed during six days of anti-government protests in Baghdad and the country’s south.
Spokesman Saad Maan said Sunday that 6,107 have been wounded in the unrest, including more than 1,200 security members.
Protests began in Iraq on Tuesday and it wasn’t clear if those numbers included any casualties Sunday.
The protests spiraled into bloody clashes that were focused in Baghdad and a number of southern cities. The spontaneous rallies were started by young Iraqis demanding jobs and an end to endemic corruption in the oil-rich country.

Army soldiers have fired in the direction of about 300 anti-government protesters who gathered in a suburb in the Iraqi capital Baghdad on the sixth day of unrest that has left more than 80 peoople dead.
The protesters, mostly young men, were scattered in side streets near Sadr City on Sunday afternoon. Troops blocked the main road preventing them from advancing and fired above the protesters’ heads. Ducking, the protesters piled over one another taking cover behind a short wall. The protests come despite calls from Iraq’s Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi for the demonstrators to stay off the streets.
Over the last few days, security forces have deployed in large numbers in central Baghdad, pushing protesters away from Tahrir Square. The square was a gathering point when protests first erupted (backslash)Tuesday.
Since then, rallies spread to southern cities, sparking a heavy crackdown from security forces that left at least 84 killed, mostly in Baghdad

1:15 p.m.
Calm has prevailed in the Iraqi capital following a bloody night when at least 19 people were killed as security forces opened fire to break up anti-government protests.
Students made it to schools at the start of the working week early Sunday and government employees returned to work. But the capital’s streets were mostly quiet and traffic thin. Burnt tires and debris littered thoroughfares while security remained heavily deployed in many neighborhoods.
Armored vehicles blocked access to Tahrir square from as far as four kilometers (2.5 miles.) Protesters have been trying to converge on the central square.
At least 84 protesters were killed, most of them in Baghdad, since Tuesday when demonstrators initiated rallies to demand jobs, improvements to services and an end to corruption in the oil-rich nation.

These people have been fighting since before Christ. The U.S. is spinning their wheels – because of their mindset and raising – Muslims will not change.
The Constitution and Islam are not compatible.
Look at the Squad and the turmoil they bring to the surface everyday – and that is just four people. The reader should be concerned and actually appalled by the Muslims in Congress spewing their HATE SPEECH and Anti- Semitism. Look how many of these Obama brought into the U.S. to cause us this same grief. The officials keep telling us we have to fight them over “there” to keep them from fighting them here.
We have done that. But, while that was happening, Obama, brought them in by plane, train, and boat – over here. That is what happens if you don’t keep your sovereignty and have borders and elect a leader like Obama.
If I would have had a family member killed in the above wars, I would be livid by the way the wars have been conducted, the loss of life, and the wounded returning all chopped up and now trying hard to be a member of society and now the Democrats turning to socialism instead of what they fought for was – democracy and freedom.
It really doesn’t matter to the Democrats since they murder babies every day, to the tune of millions (our future work force and soldiers), and then send soldiers to war for naught since they don’t even believe in democracy and freedom – except for themselves.
Don’t anyone vote for any sorry Democrat which is a vote for socialism and no Constitution.
