Gosh Barry, from Barrie,
God cant be against war.... He had one to turf Lucifer and the gang out of heaven. And he will have a BIG one at the end. Have you not read Revelations?

Those corrupt
passions which have their seat in the flesh, the apostle says are the causes
of war. Most of the wars which have occurred in the world can be traced
to what the apostle here calls lusts. The desire of booty, the love of
conquest, the ambition for extended rule, the gratification of revenge, these
and similar causes have led to all the wars that have desolated the earth.
Justice, equity, the fear of God, the spirit of true religion, never originated
any war, but the corrupt passions of men have made the earth one great
battle-field. If true religion existed among all men, there would be no more
war. War always supposes that wrong has been done on one side or the
other, and that one party or the other, or both, is indisposed to do right.
The spirit of justice, equity, and truth, which the religion of Christ would
implant in the human heart, would put an end to war forever.

Iran, as Israeli leaders have admitted, would be stupid and crazy not to want nuclear weapons.
Just look at the caution and respect that the US affords North Korea, because NK can bloody up the US' nose.
If I was Iranian, I'd be pretty tired of constant US and Isreali threats to Iranian sovereignty.
Americans, who haven't experienced a devastating war on the home front that any generation alive today can remember, are too quick to call for bombing another country. This mindset was shared by the Germans and Japanese until they were dealt devastating blows by the Russians and Americans and turned into war averse people that they are today.
Perhaps the current American generation is also in need of this?

Matthew 24
3 And as He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?"
4 And Jesus answered and said to them, "See to it that no one misleads you.
5 "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many.
6 "And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.
7 "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.
8 "But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.---NASB
