Maybe we're alone in our ambivalence (grin), but I think you're on the ball. If a Christian does not "struggle" with any Question of War, he isn't much of a Christian.
I agree with you RnMomof7. Amen and Amen. When the US bodybags come home -- and those also of 17-year-old Iraqi draftees, torn from their mothers by the dictates of an Evil State only to die in the blast of American Bombs -- I can only say "Amen".
A Christian can never be "comfortable" with War.
AT BEST we can be resigned to the Facts of Necessity.
And we still gotta look Jesus Christ in the eye, and give Him our reasons.
If we can't do that, we're nothing.
The Neo-Conservative Imperialists can crusade for their "protection of middle east stability" and "world oil supplies" and "a new world order", and we understand that such are their reasons.
But those better not be our Reasons.
Our reasons better be founded on the matter of 3,000 Americans being burned to death on September 11.
Otherwise, we have no business looking Jesus Christ in the face and telling Him we're gonna kill a bunch of people.
At least I couldn't.
