Building a house upon the ground without a foundation?

Reader comment on item: U.S. Needs To Learn Patience [in Iraq]

Submitted by Richard Jerome Jasmine (United States), Nov 30, 2004 at 13:19

It's common sense to build a house from the foundation up. As illustrated by Jesus 2000 years ago.:::Luke 6:46-49
46 "Why, then, do YOU call me ‘Lord! Lord!' but do not do the things I say? 47 Everyone that comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show YOU whom he is like: 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug and went down deep and laid a foundation upon the rock-mass. Consequently, when a flood arose, the river dashed against that house, but was not strong enough to shake it, because of its being well built. 49 On the other hand, he who hears and does not do, is like a man who built a house upon the ground without a foundation. Against it the river dashed, and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house became great.":::

Like Russa. They decided to call themselves a democracy, but they don't seem to realize America took 200 years, and are still having problems."
