Can you bargain with the devil?
Can evil be trusted? Can you bargain with the devil?
The big news today is the election in Spain where the ruling Populist party was ousted and a candidate from the Socialist party is now in power. Why did I choose this title?
Incoming prime minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has pledged to bring home the 1,300 troops Spain has stationed in Iraq when their tour of duty ends in July.
Ok, many feel that terrorism is coming to Spain as a result of them backing the U.S. and sending troops to Iraq.
Spain’s Socialists scored a dramatic upset in elections Sunday, unseating conservatives stung by charges they provoked the Madrid terror bombings by supporting the U.S.-led war in Iraq and making Spain a target for al-Qaida.
Note: How did Spain provoke this? Did Abel provoke Cain?
If the attack is by a terrorist group that is trying to get Spain to leave Iraq and the Middle East, will the new prime minister’s policy of withdrawel from the region bring about an end to the terror? If terrorism is evil (who could argue that it’s not), then can evil be bargained with? Can evil forces be trusted?
Ask the people of Iraq. Terrorists are now killing fellow Iraqis as they stand in line outside of police stations. They are killing innocent people in the street just to bring terror and death to anybody that wants to work toward or fight for a stable, peaceful government in that war ravaged country. What did those men lining up outside the police station for jobs do to deserve death by another Iraqi who strapped explosives on themselves or set off a car bomb? Those Iraqis are not the American, British (or Spanish) forces that are in that country? I thought the enemy was the foreign troops on their soil? Once again evil is proving itself to be more wicked and insidious than can be imagined. Evil respects no one or no thing.
Don’t these kinds of bargains look familiar?
Just as Satan promised Eve that she would not die, IF ONLY she would take a bite of the forbidden fruit FIRSTt when Satan promised Jesus all of the kingdoms of the world IF worship him.
