Is this a Global war or a regional War on Terror

If this is indeed a global war on terror, why is Israel fighting on this front alone? I for one think there should be American troops, along with troops from every freedom loving country there helping Israel. Evil needs to be destroyed no matter the cost. Why do we not say as David said (1 Samuel 17:45 "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the LORD will hand you over to me, and I'll strike you down and cut off your head. Today I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. 47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give all of you into our hand) The problem is that we have leaders who believe in their human powers to overcome evil. We have scoffers and scorners who mouth words about faith, but know nothing of living faith. God is not impotent, but He will not honor empty faith.

No Moral Compass

Once there was a nation, founded on the principals of Christianity. It grew and prospered and became a mighty land. God blessed it to become the most influential nation in the history of the world. Its military was in a class by its self, its wealth was not equaled by any other nation. 95 % of the technology in use in the world came from the great minds of this nation. Although this nation did not have a state mandated religion, Christianity was the national religion. This nation worshipped the true God, and He honored that worship, blessing it beyond all the nations on the earth. The nation languished in its prosperity, might and influence and while it slept decay crept into its midst. Freedom, the hallmark of this nation permitted the entry of idolatrous religions, freedom permitted sensuality to become the national pastime, freedom allowed marriage to be redefined, and murder in the womb abounded. Things done in secret were now done in the open. Things that were shameful were now touted as the right to choose. What was bad became good and good became bad. The nations is America, our moral compass is broken, we are immersed in a cesspool of depravity. The goats on the left, the sheep on the right; if allowed the goats will trample down all the pasture and the sheep will be found no more. Pray for a great awakening.
