Massacre in Iran

What happens when a people are slaughtered to the silence of those who can take action.
Does God's heart not break for the people of Iran?
Will there be no Justice.

Do you want a political reason?
A people free from an oppressive theocracy and a madman dictator like Ahmadinejad will ease tension in the Middle East. A people freed with the help of the US and the West will score big points against anti-American sentiment. We can be the good people and a young people who aren't blinded by hate will recognize us as friend, not enemy.

Do you want a moral reason?
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" - Edmund Burke.

Do you want an economic reason?
Better ties with Iran make for economic partnership (aside from oil). More trade=better economy.

Do you want a human reason?
Iranians are humans too.

Do you want a New Age-y, feel good reason?
Give peace a chance, yo.

Do you want a Biblical reason?
"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute." - Proverbs 31:9

"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.es are upon you." - 2 Chronicles 7:14-15

"He saw that there was no one, he was appalled that there was no one to intervene; so his own arm worked salvation for him, and his own righteousness sustained him." - Isaiah 59:16
JESUS INTERCEDED FOR US.

"Streams of tears flow from my eyes because my people are destroyed.My eyes will flow unceasingly, without relief, until the LORD looks down from heaven and sees." - Lamentations 3:48-50

I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. - 1 Timothy 2:1-4

Pray.
