PERSIAN GULF (Continued from page 1) qis will be starved into leaving, sine Kuwait is all desot and supplies < food and wata for Iraqi troops tha are limited; it Just takes patience an concentrated bombing of suppl lines. Those who oppose this stragey, Lu twak said, contend that the Iraqis i Kuwait have stored months of su| plies. “My answer to that,” he said, “i that I don’t believe it is true, but eve if it is, I would rather bomb them fc months from the air rather than hav thousands of Americans comin home in wheelchairs.” Eliot A. Cohen, a professor < strategic studies at the John Hopkins School for Advanced Intel national Studies, also arghed that a air war alone could produce an Ira< withdrawal, though the lesson < history is otherwise. The minute a ground war begin* the two sides will be on a more equt footing and the casualty totals will b much closer. Second, it is easia to start a groun war than it is to finish it. Even if the Iraqis were driven fror Kuwait, Cohen asked, what if the . continued shelling Kuwait from th Iraqi side of the borda? Does th United States really want to be ii volved in a potential occupation < southern Iraq? The other emerging argumei against a ground war in Kuwait is political one. It contends that the United Statei real vital interest in the gulf i destroying Iraq’s military potenth so that it will not be able to threate any of its neighbors for th foreseeable future. This objective can be achieved at relatively low cost through air powe and sustained bombings. Once it is, Iraq’s garrison in Kuwa: should be ignored. It is not of vital interest to th United States, the argument goes, t restore the emir of Kuwait to hi throne, which might be achieved on! through a very costly ground war.

Why is it that God comes out of our mouth only in times of trouble or hard times? The Bible teaches us that the workability of today’s principle is prayer power. Prayer is the mighty force which can change the world. Prayer changes people, and when people change, situations and circumstances change. Prayer can change the life of a person who uses it. There is so much to say about prayer and praying because it is such a privilege to talk to our Father in heaven. Prayer is also a form of worship. Through prayer we show our dependence upon God for everything. We honor, praise and glorify Him when we pray. “Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and He shall say, Here I am,” Isaiah 58:9. Jeremiah 33:3 says, “Call untome, and I will answer thee...” A call to God far a prayer to God. It must come from a huble, believing heart-a heart that is repentant. Prayers, however beautifully worded and fluently said, do not reach the throne of grace when they come from impenitent, self-righteous persons. Our Lord encourages us to pray and a sincere prayer never fails. Look to Jesus now and live.
