Hi, luvs--
**chuckles**
As one of
those conservative somewhat religious types, even I have to admit that when one "hears from God to do such and such" I get nervous.
Really nervous.
How do I know that said person just doesn't have little voices in his/her head telling them things?
I find the best way to listen to your deity of choice is to read their sacred writings...then live them. Voices just don't cut it for me.
I might say that Dubya used a poor choice of terminology...as a person who makes her living with words, this is just really icky, kids. (Don't you just love the precise, techincal terminology I just used?
)
Now: War in some cases is justified. I am still not sure this was such a case. I said before this thing started that it stunk remarkably like Vietnam.
Amazingly, a few years after the fact, major politicos are finding that this 'ol girl was dead on.
**sticks tongue out, makes raspberry noise**
I hate to say I told you so, but....
Luv 'n hugs anyway,
Dr. Mina Sakura

I think Bush’s claim that God told him to do it is one of the worst things he could possibly say. On the one hand he says that the war is not against Islam, on the other he claims that God is on his side. It’s a mixed message, to say the least.
Hitler and Churchill both professed that God was on their side, when the two sides believe in different Gods perhaps the situation has the potential to become all the more serious.
Leave God out of it George W; using religion to justify death and destruction is disgraceful, and surely against the supposed message of such beliefs. Don’t the suicide bombers claim that Allah told them to do it? Doesn’t this make you as bad as them?
Well, let’s face it, he’s pretty dumb isn’t he?

What makes it worse is that both sides worship the same God. But in different ways. Bush says thier wrong for calling it a holy war. I saw a show lastnight where a guy said "don't let your mouth write a check your ass can't cash" I think he did. That statement could start a bigger war than we have now.

"God made me do it" is a denial of personal responsibility. The war in Iraq was Bush's war, supported by Blair. Let's not bring God into it.
