Luke 9
[23] And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
[24] For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
[25] For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
You seem to put a price on freedom, or piece of mind.You seem to shame the memory of those who have payed the ultimate price already.
John 15
[13] Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Those who have died or been injured have done so maybe because of duty,maybe out of conviction but please do not dishonor them by bringing money into the equation it does not even factor in.I hope money never becomes an issue with Americans in the pursuit of trying to do what is "Right".
Can we really put a price on doing the right things?
Proverbs 3
[27] Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
[28] Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
America still has the power to do good....and so do others...just my 2 cents again.
Hum ... what did we accomplish?....Maybe speculate on what would happen if we do nothing about characters like the Taliban or Bin Laden or Saddam or Irans current nut ball..or any other dipstick in history...we all know what happens....Death happens.
