James Fallows/The Atlantic Online: Why Iraq Has No Army Why Iraq Has No Army — The Bush administration doesn't take the problem seriously—and it never has — W hen Saddam Hussein fell, the Iraqi people gained freedom. What they didn't get was public order. Looting began immediately, and by the time it abated, signs of an insurgency had appeared. Source: The Atlantic Online Author: James Fallows Link: http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/prem/200512/iraq-army View discussion (Via memeorandum.) Of course, Iraq has no army because we don't plan on leaving. 7:33:12 PM    comment []

God and the M60 Machine Gun What Would Jeus Do? Carry an M60! here are those who would say that because Jesus did not carry a weapon when He walked the earth, then neither should we Christians who follow Him. Those who use this line of reasoning seem to forget that Jesus was God in the flesh and consequently did not need a weapon! Jesus was sent to save mankind by His crucifixion on Calvary; He would not have allowed His own death any other way. As for Jesus’ followers, they did carry weapons! Their weapon of choice was the Roman sword (probably the Roman short sword) that was then considered to be the most advanced personal military weapon of the day; the equivalent of the modern firearms we use today. 9:53:53 AM    comment []
