Will Grigg's Liberty Minute

March 19, 2008

Five years ago today, without the constitutionally required declaration of war, propelled by malign ambition and acting behind a barricade of conscious lies, George W. Bush committed our nation to a useless, illegal, and immoral war in Iraq.

Nearly 4,000 American families have been deprived of a loved one because of Mr. Bush?s war, which has also claimed the lives of an estimated 1.3 million Iraqis. Our economy has been shattered by the expense of the conflict, which may reach three trillion dollars. Similar damage has been done to our nation?s prestige worldwide.

Last week, the Pentagon completed a definitive report concluding that there was no evidence of a connection between Saddam Hussein?s regime and the al-Qaeda terrorist network accused of committing the September 11 attack. That non-existent connection, along with Saddam?s non-existent weapons of mass destruction, was the supposed rationale for a war we should never have started.

Let us repent of the grave sin of that unnecessary war, and take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
