Nope, just pointing out that god killed people. Wars happen and I don't understand those that criticize Christians because they aren't being christian like because they suggest something to do with war. God isn't all Love all the time. If you think you should forgive or ignore your enemies while they kill you, well , I won't. I'm not going to be the sheep heading to the slaughter in this case. Disagree, I don't understand this kind of attitude? Maybe Isreal shouldn't fight? Killing is wrong! They should roll over? The reality of the situation is that god doesn't want us to let evil prevail in the world and kill us all. Terrorism is either evil or its not? I would never revel at the death of innocents but the way i see it, its kill or be killed, America will NEVER be the same or safe until we exterminate terrorism by Democracy or war, there is no in between. My whole post wasn't directed at you, just the general direction of the Bush haters and Democrats. BTW Bill Clinton's diplomacy didn't work, I laugh when I hear people say Bush should do what Clinton did. You made my argument for me. Democracy fails in Iraq and the radical countries should be history. All they would then understand is war, winning or losing or this is why radical terrorists take over their countries. We can't afford for that to happen. In America you may call it racial profiling, this is whats wrong with this country. Is it racial profiling when you see their children talk about hating Isreal, America and want to kill us. Maybe you should do some research? Made my argument again, we give aid to these countries at times and they still hate us. If Democracy in those countries fail, its in our best interest to bomb them so that they won't have anything else to think about but rebuild. See TigerWins post, we can't afford to repeat our past mistakes
Perhaps God is acting through the radical muslims, surely they believe so. It will always happen so long as people rely on religion to shape their views. Agreed. Our major obstacle is their culture. We can not simply give them democracy. They must chose it for themselves, and their religion, culture & ideology will not allow it. Mostly agree with this. It would be in bad taste for us to simply pack up & leave. We must help them get back on their feet after invading their country & taking out their leader.
I wish it were that easy, amigo. Do you think we can actually install such a government? If the US miitary can't keep a lid on the place, how can the ridiculous Iraqi army do it? We may have to stay forever because when we leave, the Sunnis and Shiites are just going to have to fight this out. Perhaps the winner of that fight will have had enough and pose no further problems to us. Reagan played this one right, I think. We went there to help those people establish peace and rebuild their country and they crapped all over us, instead. So Reagan said fug 'em if they won't cooperate. Let them live in this chithole and kill each other if they want to. Let them just deal with the Israelis head on, which bought them decades of occupation. You can't be a "peacekeeper" if both parties don't want peace. I agree and I think this is happening. Iran is crying loudly because they are about to get UN sanctions. Syria withdrew its military from Lebanon last year under intense US and International pressure, however they were apparently keeping a lid on Hezbollah who foolishly invited Israeli invasion again. Our Sunni allies, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the Gulf States, condemned Israel for public consumption but have privately urged the US to allow Israel to squash Hezbollah because Hezbollah encites trouble in their own countries.
I wonder if they ever ask themselves why they are living in squalor in a bunch of chithole countries while Israel lives in affluence and the United States is a wonderland with most of the power and money. Who has Allah favored exactly, Abdul?
I was not talking about just wars. I was talking only about the collateral damage and the lack of empathy for the innocents killed shown by the radical right in this country. Genocide is not a Christian priciple that I am aware of. Again nowhere did I say Isreal should not go after the Hezbos. I said Americans should not revel in the death of innocents. I find the lack of remoarse about the death of innocents from the supposed Christians on the board revolting. Yes kill the terrorists, not the innocents. I am not a Bush hater or a Democrat. I even voted for the guy once. We can't say that Clinton's policy failed. It was pretty much abandoned with the assination Rabin by a Jew. This is the indescriminate killing that I was talking about. We are more than capable of going in and destroying terrorist networks without occupying a country. I don't even understand what you are saying here. I said we should racially profile. Yes because that type of policy certainly won't create more radical American Hating groups around the world.
