No ungodly leader can solve the problem of having both peace and plenty without war. God is the only One Who can give them peace and plenty at the same time.--I mean all that they need. As long as a nation demands more than they need, in other words more than plenty, they demand absolute excess, extravagant luxury.--They have to rob the poor to get it, and to rob the poor to get it they have to wage war. America has been living in luxury at the world's expense while other nations are starving.
