Sorry, but the first paragraph is not true. Yes, some postings are dangerous, others are not. It depends how committed you are to advancing freedomAs for the 2nd paragraph which terrorists are you referring to? Hamas? Hezbollah? Al-Qaeda (which faction)? Taleban? Waziri Tribesmen? ETIM? etc (pls look them up before replying) Some yes, others no, others perhaps, its not that simpleAs for the 3rd paragraph, I challenge you to prove the need for military intervention without emotive reasoning

Ya well any volunteering in the middle east through peaceful non violence will still get you killed. They (terrorists) are not making any distinction between aid organizations and militarty organizations. Its just death to westerners and all those that support them.If you don't see the need for military intervention then you are very much blind.

You must have never picked up a history book, if your unwilling to do so then perhaps, instead of launching barbs at me, you could travel to countries that the US has left in ruins & volunteer in reconstruction & implementing democracy through peaceful means. Perhaps there you will learn there is a world beyond yourselfFinally, I would thank you for not lecturing me on the virtues of democracy, where I'm from we risk more for ACTUAL democracy than most plump, laz-e-boy bound Americans ever do

I find your reply to be both rude and arrogant.It is a shame, I was hoping to understand the American religious right, instead I am subjected to shrill the arrogance of someone who DOES NOT CAREFULLY READ what I had take the time to write and who lives in a painfully simplistic world where that the US can do no wrong.I think I will end this as I have my answer regarding the American religious right. A group so arrogant & unwilling to listen they have turned their backs on Christian teachings

The King James Bible is the best translation from the original Greek and Hebrew I suggest you read that one.The other translations were either translated from the Latin which was translated from the Greek and Hebrew or you have the new easier to read Bibles like the NIV which is a complete misinterpretation of the words, editing what they felt it should say instead of what it does say.

I condemn acusations such as your comments, you sound like the terrorist not the peace keeper.What threat?! Have you been living in a cave or something? Talk about ignorant..."their cause" You seem to want to steriotype all Arabians to have the same ideology. Its only the terrorists that want us out of there. The majority of the people are benefiting from our occupation not hurting. We're there to topple the evil regimes not murder innocent people.

You forget were not over there to murder anyone, we are there to bring stability. Saddam murdered alot of people as u stated and I'm sure he influenced even more deaths as a result of his regime. The only slaughter that is being done is by the terrorists. You seem to have a vague understanding of the war on terror or even what a democracy is. Did you not know the USA is a peace keeping nation? That we allow freedoms that other nations only dream about.

The war's design was and is to contain the threat to the USA and our allies. What leads to democracy is the need for democracy. When people stand up for what they believe in despite heavy persecution including death.

Finally; what threat? The followers of Sayid Qutb are few & few between. Arab leaders Nasser, Mossadeq even Saddam were far removed from Jihadist teachings.Osama's own ideology in tatters, rejected by the Arab mainstream, they turned on the US out of desperation & outrage, to galvanise the Arab world to their causeSadly the US, led by the neo-cons, have generated more hostility amongst ordinary people than Osama could dream of. I Recommend "The Power of Nightmares" available on youtube

Regarding the body count; according to the Strassler family Center for Holocaust & Genocide Studies at Clark University Saddam killed approximately 200,000In June 06 the Iraqi Health Ministry survey found the war & occupation was responsible for in excess of 400,000 deaths. This is the most conservative view, with the Opinion Research Business survey claiming over 1m deathsThe wickedness of this is staggering, I imagine a Christian would be compelled to condemn this slaughter unreservedly |
