From a Christian view, do you think Iraq should negotiate with neighbors Iran & Syria?

Answer 1

No

It will TOTALLY divide the country.

Iran will support one sect and Syria the other.

The country will become divided. North and South Iraq. OR one will dominate the other.

The ULTIMATE GOAL of what America is trying to do there is the right goal, but it can't be done in 2, 3, 5 or even 10 years.

What America was looking for was an IRAQ Army that would line the streets and let a Sunni girl go to College at a Shi ite University.

In America if CHRISTIANS started stoning a Muslim neighborhood NATIONAL GUARD and ARMY TROOPS would line the streets and protect the MUSLIMS, who make up only 1% of America.

We were hoping to establish a Government and Army in Iraq that would do that too.

It was a pipe dream.

American had a civil war 100 years after the Constitution over the issue of Black suffrage and slavery. How anyone could imagine that Iraq could become that autonomous and unbiased in 3 or 5 years of No SADDAM was on some type of drug!

Answer 2

This is really a political question, not a religious one, but here goes.

Iraq should be able to negotiate with whomever they please. Right now we are occupying their country---we did not liberate them from anything, except one man. Since that time thousands have died violently due to intervention by a so-called Christian nation. In addition a new panel formed in Washington has determined that we had no right to invade Iraq (lies about terrorism and 911) and that we are causing more problems there than we are solving.

Because our intervention has caused so much devisiveness between ethnic groups and various sects of Islam (Kurds, Sunni, Shiite), we have opened the door wide open for nations bordering Iraq to jump into the fray, offering aid, weapons, whatever benefits their own interests (including growing instability in the Middle East, the destruction of Israel, and the spread of extremist ideologies.) We have helped create this monster, so we have no right to tell Iraq whom they chose to make alliances with---we've already blown that opportunity for ourselves.

Answer 3

The Christian view is that war is immoral, and those who make war will burn in hell.
