Respect History and Stop Wars
We, as members of mankind, have to show our full respect for history, since history is God.
However, the Iraqi War was conducted with an alarming degree of brutality, resulting in a more brutal civil war after retreat of US troops.
Iraq stands on Mesopotamia, the birth place of urban civilization of mankind. If we, as members of mankind, show full respect for history, which is God, we should have stopped the US from sending troops to Iraq to dismantle so-called weapons of mass destruction that did not exist after all. We all failed in showing full respect to the ancient Mesopotamian Civilization.
The Afghan War was also launched and is still going on with not only US troops but also NATO soldiers being engaged in battles in the country where no modern urban civilization can be found.
Afghanistan was a limit where Alexander the Great could reach in his advancement to the east. The glory of the Roman Empire and the growth of Christianity came after the era of Alexander the Great. We all failed to show full respect to the great historic achievement of Alexander the Great.
Syria has also longer history than any European/American cities. Not only Abraham and his clan but also the armies of ancient Greece, ancient Iran, the Roman Empire, Crusade, etc. passed or were stationed there. Damascus has been a family place for readers of the Old Testament even before the era of Christ. Nonetheless, the international community cannot stop the brutal civil war going on for three years. We all fail in exercising justice onto Syria and also showing respect to history.
Gaza is also an old area. It appeared in records of ancient world covering ancient Egypt and ancient Hebrew kingdoms. But this series of conflicts around Gaza between Palestinians and Israelis symbolizes our lack in respect for history.
It is very bad.
We have to preserve those historic places with full respect, since history is God. But as if we were having history lose its face, we have shed too much blood there. Consequently, something terrible must happen.
Indeed, we have seen the second tragedy of Malaysian airliners in troubled and dangerous Ukraine after the mysterious prelude of missing MH370, while we assume that Malaysia has nothing to do with these tragic wars and battles in the world. It is a warning delivered to us by God.
Respect history and stop wars!
The Third World War might be set off in the worst case in extension of this dangerous trend.
