#32: History's 'Bad' Guys

Who should have the worse reputation in world history, Saddam Hussein, the guy who threatened to use weapons of mass destruction against anyone who opposed him, or Harry Truman, who actually used them...TWICE?! (at Hiroshima and Nagasaki) Does it seem odd that when Democrats in America bad mouth Republican Presidents for being 'war mongering imperialists', they conveniently forget it was one of their own who smoked roughly 220,000 Japanese civilians in two days? (Actually, it took about two minutes each time.)

Or how about Joseph, the teen with the really cool 'coat of many colors'? Sure, he got the short end of the stick from his Jewish brothers and was sold into slavery, but after a couple of decades, he ended up being Number 2 Honcho of the entire Egyptian Empire. (OK, so that's a variant reading of the original Hebrew of Genesis 41:46!) ANNNNNND...HE was the one who had the Seven Years of Feast and Famine Dream that got him his position through which he set up the political machinery which enslaved the ENTIRE Egyptian nation immediately and, later on, the Jewish nation for 450 years after the new Pharaoh took power!! (Genesis 47: 20-21 says, "So Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh....The land became Pharaoh's, and Joseph reduced the people to servitude, from one end of Egypt to the other.")
Now...if you were God (and I'm glad you're not), would you use a Christian President to build concentration camps in America using Halliburton, Kellogg, and Brown, for Islamic terrorists in one decade and then adapt them for American Christians in another to bring about revival through Persecution?
Hmmm...got yer Bible verses memorized?
