The Clock is Ticking

Iran to Suspend Cooperation With Nuke Watchdog Over Sanctions http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,261084,00.html

TEHRAN, Iran —“Iran isn't backing down after a unanimous vote by the U.N. Security Council to impose sanctions, announcing Sunday that it will partially suspend cooperation with the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency and will be adjusting relations with those nations who voted for sanctions.”

So Iran is continuing to play hard ball. Is anyone surprised? They have really stepped it up this week- kidnapping at gun point 15 British Sailors and Marines, and now telling the U.N. in effect, “You impose sanctions on us [for not cooperating with you,] and we will cooperate with you even less.”

The U.N. and the American people must realize that the radical regime in Iran is under no obligation to cooperate with us, and they know that. We’re running out of time very quickly.

“In response to the vote, the Iranian Cabinet also decided to stop informing U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency of any new steps or decisions in its nuclear weapons program,” -this of course, is one more step in their development of a nuclear weapon.

When I was in Washington, D.C., about two weeks ago, I had the chance to shake hands with former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In his speech, he drew a parallel between now and WWII. He said that the year is 1938, Iran is Germany, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is Adolph Hitler. He has been saying things like that for some time, and when he first started making that assertion, he was called an alarmist. He was told he was overreacting, and his rhetoric could be provocative. Well, those name callers are quieting down now as Iran begins to appear like 1938 Germany more and more every hour. Only this time, the technology they are seeking is one hundred times more powerful.

Granted, the American people have a lot on their plate right now, but why are we engulfed with things like the firing of federal prosecutors and how Anna Nicole Smith died, while “Nazi Germany, The Sequel” plays its theatrical trailer to the horror flick it plans to market?

Will we once again be guilty of doing nothing as evil prepares to triumph?

Did you get to speal to Benjamin Netanyahu?? URGH! I wish you would have got his myspace or something because I need to talk to him.

I'm not going to say that we shouldn't be concerned with what Iran's up to. Right now, they're worrying me more than North Korea. Although I do take their nuclear-weapon-attemps seriously I don't loose sleep at night over their threat because: Iran is going to be completely blown off the map during the tribulation. They can't touch a hair on Israel's head. . . But what about the rest of us, eh?

Recently I heard someone say on James Dobson’s Focus on the Family – “We’re in the preliminary stages of WWIII.” Our church is studying the Book of Revelation on Sunday nights and I wonder if all this is not ‘ticking down’ to the Tribulation Period. The major difference between now and 1938 is the advance development of nuclear, biological and other forms of warfare. I believe that we will continue to see ‘tension / probability for all out war’ escalate until it reaches the point that the world will readily accept a one-world leader. My #1 concern right now is where America stands with God.

What do you mean by "proven conservative principles"?
