Not an old testament person are you? The jews were instructed by God Himself more than once to kill every man, woman and child and dog of certain groups. Jesus's arrival did not dismantle the old testament. Our Lord is loving, but He Himself has also said He is jealous, and vengeful. He does instruct us to do certain things, including punishing the wicked, and it's not always a nice punishment. If you can't handle the violence of divine retribution, go hide with the liberals.

I find your post offensive. Certainly the Lord God may require us to kill. And kill on a scale that is abhorant to us all in other circumstances. My caution is that we pray and listen to the Spirit and do as He would command. "Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out!" may become the order of the day, but the Spirit within me, at least at this point, counsels caution.

....but I do love your profile page! Don't misunderstand me, please. My personal desire is that the people of The United States of America do EVERYTHING necessary to rid the entire world of terrorism. I got into a big argument a couple nights age because I said that you cannot remove this terrible scourge from the world unless you remove it's support base - even the so-called "innocents", the women and children who cheer them on. What is about to happen, will happen. I hope you and I can prepare the people for the reality that the reality will not be pleasant. No clean gunshots to the thigh. This time there will be saber slashes to the genitals. That's the way of it. But, please, let's not get too blood thirsty until we absolutely have to.
