The Iraq War Will Be Just
Religious Freedom Coalition
March 17, 2003 12:01PM EST


NEWS FLASH

Religious Freedom Coalition launched an advertising campaign supporting the decision of President George W. Bush to end the tyranny of Saddam Hussein. The advertisement written by RFC chairman William J. Murray delivers theological arguments in favor of war with Iraq at a time many radical left organizations are running anti-American advertisements in the nations newspapers. The first RFC advertisement appeared in the Washington Times on Thursday, March 13, 2003 and again on Monday, March 17, 2003.  The full text of the advertisment appears below:

A "Just" War Against Iraq

In the Beginning, the very hour of Creation, God the Father knew the sinful nature that would befall man through free will. For that reason He prepared the personage of Christ to die on the cross as a sacrifice for that sin.
War was the inevitable by-product of free will and the sinful nature of man. Thus God has protected the righteous, even directed the armies of righteous nations to victory over the evil forces of the heathen. And, He has removed His protection as well. When the Crusaders protected the Pilgrims against the ravages of the heathen they found victory. When they succumbed to human desire and profit they met defeat.
God stood with the Allies against the satanic forces of the Nazi Reich just as surely as He stood with the armies of King David. God’s hand of protection is upon those who believe in Him, follow His commandments and call upon His name.
Civilizations have police and sometimes those police break into homes to stop crime. Likewise righteous nations have armies that must on occasion act as police against tyrants. The very presence of evil gives the righteous the right and the responsibility to place their armies upon the field. As the barbaric Taliban met defeat so that the righteous would be victorious, so then will God bless the forces of the United States in freeing the world’s peoples from the fear of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, weapons that a satanically driven leader such as Saddam Hussein would indeed use.
As Christ blessed the Centurion by granting his wish for healing of a servant, so will Christ stand with the armies of the righteous. Revelations 17:14 reveals Christ defeating the armies that are called against Him upon His return.
Had God not stood by the armies of the righteous, by those called in His name, Israel would never have existed and slavery would exist in America today. As we move forth to battle let us recall the prayers for victory in the Psalms of David."
