Evil Will Triumph If We Do Nothing
Also published in the Tuesday, March 27, 2007 edition of The Chattanooga Times Free Press letters to the editor.
Regardless of your political affiliation, it must be accepted that we are engaged in a struggle with Islamic extremism. It is important to understand that this clash is a generational struggle. If we ignore it, the struggle will not go away. It will only intensify.
I just returned from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee annual Policy Conference in Washington, D.C. The immense bi-partisan support for Israel was encouraging. Attending this conference and traveling to Israel in 2006 has enhanced my ability to view this struggle in a personal context:
Imagine the United States was the size of New Jersey, less than 60 years old, surrounded by hostile nations that have invaded numerous times, and one of the most powerful nations in the region is calling for the destruction of our country. The country bent on our annihilation is currently pressing full-steam ahead in their pursuit of nuclear weapons.
If that is not enough, this rogue nation already possesses missiles capable of reaching our country, and it would only take two nuclear weapons to kill over 50% of our population.
This is the situation for Israel.
Extremely serious, wouldn’t you agree?
Evil is attempting to triumph. Will we do nothing?

It sort of trips me out that Jeremiah Cook could be apart of this situation. If you end up higher in politics you could have a hand in what's going to happen.
Just looking at the situation over there strengthens my faith. Time and time and time again God has proved His greatness by making this small nation win against the giants opposing it.
All I can say is: I CAN'T WAIT till the Jews start converting. God Bless Israel.
