Revelation 18
1And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 2And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. 4And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 5For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

Whoa, Bible verses. Can't wait to see the Repubes on this one. Probably something along the lines of you mis-interpreting this verse.

"Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."
Revelation 18
"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who would do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing."
Albert Einstein
We are not "partakers of her sins..." We are trying to eliminate the mass graves, the indiscriminate slaughter of thousands of innocent people and instill a government that answers to the people, and not the other way around.
You have quoted from the Bible - and the Islamic radicals have quoted from the Koran - it is now time to decide if we can idly sit by and watch - or try and defend an oppressed people from the atrocities of this demented ideology of hatred and domination.
The decisions we have to make seem obvious to me.

Revelation 18 is about things yet to come. I encourage you to keep reading the bible with an open heart and mind.
