Would you post the information on the arrangement to credit it and allow others to find it if they would like to use the same?

Just like in the BOM there was wars than goodness there are people who are brave enough to defend so we can worship how we like although some wars a for the elite and not to protect the people at all. follow the scriptures it happens just like in there. Thanks for this video.

Thanks for posting this again. it is hard to find lon_child@hotmail.com

Can I get a link to the accompaniment?

THANKS AND BLESS YOU. IT IS A WONDERFUL XMAS MESSAGE.

There were weapons of mass desctruction. Bush didn't defend himself at all. I have read quotes from soldiers who saw them. There were news reports that IS might use Saddam's old stock piles.

Nothing can separate us from the love of God on high. Through persecution, comes trust and new strength one cannot deny.

So, if we had a pre-emptivel strike to stop Hitler, that would have been wrong? Congress passed the Authoriztion for the Use of Military Force.There is no requirement that the phrase 'declaration of war" be in the title or body of any legislation to go to war.

I can tell you about warfare. All scriptures are filled with warfare, and part of warfare is pre-emptive strikes. No one wins a war and survives by staying on the defensive. Period. Never been done in the history of the world. And part of offense is pre-emptive strikes. A simple ambush is a pre-emptive strike, on a small scale.

Not sure about the beginning, but the later is from the soundtrack for the movie "Pearl Harbor."

Very good comment. Thanks for posting!

Part 2 Later Nephites grew proud and war-like. They justified their pre-emptive strikes as retaliation (see Mormon 3:9-16). That's when Mormon resigned as their general. He explains why it was they were destroyed (Mormon 4:4-5). It's hard to fight defensively when you are in the enemy's land. If someone finds example in BoM where pre-emptive strike was 'approved,' let me know. I've yet to find one. Big question is; is current U.S. War policy like the early Nephites or the later?

God's standard for waging war is D&C 98. If He commands offensive strike it's okay (v33), but will do so only upon this standard (this justified Nephi taking Laban's life). Captain Moroni's armies seemed to take offensive at times, but careful reading shows they were recapturing land previously taken by enemy, so were still fighting within their own lands. Early on, the Nephites appointed righteous captains (see 3 Ne 3:19-21). They would only fight in their land (strictly defensive).

You need to read the scriptures a little more. Both the BoM and Holy Bible have lots of examples of pre-emptive strikes in warfare.

Mitt Romney is controlled by the Gadianton Robbers. Listen to the prophets, not Romney.

The first part of this video is good, I agree the war in Iraq was unconstitutional. However, despite what LDS leaders have said, the church in my opinion has ALWAYS promoted pre-emptive strikes. Just look at Mountain Meadows. Heck, even in the BoM there are several example of pre-emptive war. Nephi, the BoM hero kills a drunk man because of what he might do in the future.

Mitt Romney is the first to start a War....As long as its you children...Not his 5 sons...or the chicken hawk himself...war is for "you people"'...not the rich white Mormons...They are above that..But you non believers should be the first to go...Mitt Romney is running for president for petes sake......

I am baffled at how any member of the LDS faith can support these wars or Romney. I no longer practice, but was raised in the church.I was brought up being warned of impending New World Order. Romney is in full support of legislation that is stripping freedom and clearly designed to usher in the NWO. How are so many are completely blind to this? How can you just ignore the words of Christ & church leaders? Ron Paul is the only candidate my conscious will allow my to vote for.

Only fools debate, when there is direct contact with The Lord and his Messenger's. Having a hard time in believing in a Latter Day Prophet? I challenge you to read Rev. 19:10. Who can hold claim to that today?

I hate asking this but what is that music at the beginning?

@rhetrozenberg potd

@iBikeForFun Yes it still applies. The Lord says that an offensive position is never authorized unless He commands it(D&C 98:33-38)We are justified in defending ourselves but we are to not be guilty of the neither the first nor second offense(Alma 43:46-47) The Lord says that if we will not revile against our enemies but patiently endure we will be blessed multi-fold(D&C 98:23-32) God truly is a God of peace that is why He has commanded us to"Therefore renounce war and proclaim peace"(D&C 98:16)

The constitution is hanging by a thread, and Willard Romney wants to snip it.

@iBikeForFun There is no exception with regards to pre-emptive war. What you posted is correct and what I have been trying to point out to my family since we went to war with Iraq. Sadly some just refuse to see it. We were told the BOM is written for our day, yet we ignore what is in it. Maybe it's just because a lot of people skip the war chapters, idk. I just can't understand how any LDS or Christian for that matter can be ok with these wars.

Your point seems reasonable. As I read where one army strikes out against another, I've looked to see if a pre-emptive strike was ever considered justifiable before the Lord. In every instance, the tipping point seems to hinge on where the strike/attack takes place. If within their own lands it is justifiable, but if beyond their borders it is not. They lose all divine help. I have yet to find an exception (see scriptural references below). Wouldn't this principle still apply to us?

This video is true. However one example of justified war, which is found in the B of M, is a just strike on an enemy before a known impending attack. This, by definition, is an example of preemptive war, a strike to preempt a verified intent to attack one's people. This does not devalue this movie in the least as no such thing was ever verified on Iraq. Two things must be verifiable to justify such a strike, capability & real intent on the part of an enemy. I only suggest a change to the title.

@7a1227music It's just one of those random ads that pop up at the bottom of the screen. Apparently the ads key-in to certain words used in the video description text. I used Romney's name in my description. I'm a Ron Paul supporter, go figure!

why is there a MITT Romney "Donate" add on this video?

@Baroque1750 The war in Iraq didn't prevent anything. It was an aggressive war by the US into the middle east.

Suck on that, Mitt! RP2012

Remake this video just changing the stats to Jan 2012!

Change the term from Preemtpive to Preventive. There is a difference! RON PAUL 2012 by the way!

I LOVE THIS VIDEO: But please change the word Pre-Emptive to Preventive. There is a difference. Iraq was a Preventive War. Germany was a Premptive War.
