The laws passed and repealed in America’s history show a shift away from a Christian ethic. For example, abortion was not legal. The state laws across the country against sodomy have been repealed because of a Supreme Court ruling a few years ago. (I am not sure what you meant by they will come a long way like America has. I define progression as moving towards righteous government/the implementation of righteous laws.)<BR/><BR/>I support our troops and support finishing what America has started in Iraq. I also see the connection between terrorist activity and the instability of the Iraqis leaders and government that Bush is right not to ignore. <BR/><BR/>In the end, giving people the right to vote does not make them vote or act morally. Only Jesus Christ can change the hearts of men and women. The Iraqis are not free, and nothing that our government or any other government can do can give them freedom. My odd little commentary was just a manifestation that thought floating around in my head.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12547064402298250403noreply@blogger.com
