Pakistan post from a bit ago...

I was just perusing the posts and noticed this one and wanted to comment. I am completely unaware of the situation in Pakistan, but I do have something that I believe is important to say. International Affairs always seem so troubling to Christians because often times the thing that needs to be done is not the thing that best benefits the world. I think the problem is more primitive. Regardless of what level of individual or government, everything we do is to be governed by the same standard, God's standard. This means that though a certain dictator is capable of utterly annihilating the world with the press of a button, we are not to support him and aid in his rampant slaughtering of his own people. This does not mean we should declare war and immediately launch Hailey's Comet at him. It simply means not supporting him. Many have told me that when a whole nation of people rests on one's shoulders that those kinds of decisions become a lot more difficult, but the fact is, the standard does not change no matter how many people one governs. Be the example and others will follow.
