I will be away for a few days on vacation. I have posted a new article: Choices... for you to read in my absence.
There is no real peace in the world. There are several conflicts going on around the globe at any given time. The crisis in the nation of Georgia has taken center stage this week. There is only one way to bring peace to this world. Man is not willing, nor is he capable of bringing a lasting peace to this earth. No matter what organizations are setup, no matter what truces and agreements are put into place, it never lasts. There is always someone, somewhere, that lusts after and desires absolute and total control of everything and everyone. The Bible foretells that this world will become united under a world government for a short time, but then Jesus Christ will return in power and glory and take control of this world from man. Only then will there be a lasting peace, only then will there be safety and security and harmony among men. Amen. Even so, come LORD Jesus!
The nation of Georgia attempted to take back a break-away territory, South Ossetia. Russia had other ideas and responded quickly and with ferocity. Georgia suffered a retaliatory attack from Russia, who has it’s own ideas about South Ossetia. For all intents and purposes, it appears that Russia is trying to absorb Georgia back into it’s territory. After an aerial pounding resulting in heavy civilian casualties, ground troops and armored cavalry are moving towards the Georgian capital of Tsblisi. A humanitarian crisis is in the making. Read the story here. President Bush is demanding that Russia end what he called a “dramatic and brutal escalation of violence”. Georgia is a soverign nation, that has a democratic form of government with leaders elected by the people. The US has enjoyed warm relations with Georgia and has a vested interest in seeing the nation retain it’s soverignty. Read the story here.
China is set to surpass the US, as the biggest producer of goods in the world. The shift in status is four years ahead of schedule, due to the weak US economy. The US has long been the leader in the world of both manufactured goods and agricultural products, but the tide is swiftly turning. The US had been expected to retain it’s top producer status until 2013, but recent events are causing a revision by Global Economists. The shift in manufacturing status will topple the US from the top position it has held for over 100 years! Read the story here.
Until next time...
