The "good guys" can do what they desire in opposing the "bad guys" because the "ridding-the-world-of-the bad-guys" end justifies the "War of agression" means.
The world is a very complicated place and we all are burdened with original sin yet listen to our dufus Dubya (yes, I do think he is dumb) trying to convince us the mantle of God is upon his shoulders and he was chosen to liberate the entire planet. This is pure madness. In better days, someone would have thrown a net over the loon.
Nineveh was saved by fasting and prayer. Put down your forks and hit your knees....This nutball already has us bogged-down in Afghanistan (how many thousands of innocents were killed in that Unjust War?) we are about to launch an UnJust War in Iraq (Our sanctions have already accounted for over 500,000 deaths of innocent Iraqis and we have 200,000 disabled Vets from Daddy's first Gulf War), the War Criminal Sharon wants us to take out Iran after Iraq (any bets we won't?)and we have a president that struts about as though he were mini-Mussolini and he personalises disagreements with other world leaders (Saddam and Korea's Kim)and I listen to Dubya talk trash to them and about them and I think, "What the Hell is this, the World Wide Wrestling Federation?"
Dubya READ THE CONSTITUTION you one-termer. You have NO authority to do what you are doing. (The Congress has NOBODY with a lick of courage to stand-up to this madman and tell him to go to Hell. Congress has the duty to declare war))You are ruining the economy, (Nice budget, what about the war? Think that'll cost a few dollars?) dragging us up to the gates of Hell and while you are too puffed-up with pride to notice Cerebus nipping at your heels, your soldiers are slowly sinking in the quagmire in Afghanistan (What, you thought we'd "win" there? Russia, right next door couldn't) and you are about to endanger both Iraqi and American souls with this foolhardy war for oil and currency (which will prevail, the dollar or the Euro? Follow the money...).
"War President" my ass. When YOU were in the National Guard (to duck Vietnam), you were AWOL for over a year. Chickenenhawk. The same goes for your entire damn cabinet, 'cept Powell. Same goes for Rush and the rest of the war-rabid, chickenhawk,neo-cons
And why was it ok for V.P. Cheney to do businesss with Saddam up until 1998 if Saddam is Hitler? And why was it ok for Daddy Bush and The Carlyle Group to be doing business with the Bin Laden Family in Saudi Arabia even after 911? Why did you, Dubya, squash the CIA's investigation into the Bin Laden Family as soon as you became president?
Where did all those pilots/terrorists come from? Saudia Arabia and Egypt. Not a SINGLE one from Afghanistan or Iraq, yet, we bomb and attack them...
Speaking of Bin Laden (remember him? He was our NUMBER ONE PRIORITY,DEAD OR ALIVE right?), why did you, Dubya, do business with his brother in your first overseas business venture? A Christian cannot even publicly pray in Saudia Arabia yet you, the instrument of God,and your Dadddy, not only did business with them, you invited the Saudis to your ranch in Texas after 911. (I won't even mention your family raking in the cash while doing business with Hitler)Instrument of God? Yeah, and Rosie O'Donnell is spokeswoman for Weight Watchers. Hypocrite, liar, phony, dufus. "Our foreign policy must be humble..." Yeah, right.
You can instruct Powell to go and lie to the United Nations but you are not fooling the world. The next day his lies were unmasked. In citing "new information" about Saddam's chemical weapons, Powell was quoting from a TWELVE YEAR OLD THESIS WRITTEN BY A GRAD STUDENT. Good Lord. That was even easier to unmask than his lies leading-up to Daddy's First UnJust War in the Gulf. He said "Our Satellite intelligence, (sorry,can't show you, it is classified), shows over 1000 tanks and tens of thousands of Iraqi soldiers massed on the Saudia Arabia border." One little woman, at the St. Petersburg Times, purchased satellite photos from a commercial satelite and proved that was a lie.
Powell musta been promised the V.P. spot the next time around as the price for his public lies in support of your duplicitous actions.
You have been President for less thsan three years and look at what the hell has happend to our country....I can't fly without being harassed as though I were a criminal, our economy has gone to hell, our liberties have been reduced, you put the criminal Poindexter in charge of reading my Emails and listening to my phone calls, your crackpot Atty General puts a cloth over the Statue of Justice to hide her "nudity" while at the same time trying to lift the veil of the lawyer-client priviledge and he has already prepared a second "Patriot Act" ready to Goose-step through the craven Congress the next time we suffer a terrorist attack, and we are told to buy duct tape and plastic. This is madness...our country is being dragged into the pit and there is not a single conservative alive who can truthfully respond "Yes" in answer to Reagan's famous question; "Are you better off today than you were four years ago?"
Saddam has been boxed-in for more'n nine years with "no-fly" zones in the north and south. A Threat to the world? Puhleeze. We are the Death Star and Saddam is a guy on a goat with a grenade in his jock.
You know, when I read that Helen Thomas said Bush is the worst President we have ever had, I laughed. I ain't laughing any longer...<>
I disagree, vehemently, with almost everything your wrote.
I'm disappointed that, for a man who is so steeped in sound theology, you are so galactically ignorant politically.
Your paranoia suggests you're really a Bircher in disguise.
BTW, Congress declared war, back in October. The fact that you, and John Conyers, and Sheila Jackson-Lee missed it...well, that just shows you what kind of crowd you hang with.
Based on anything substantial, or is it just a 'feeling' you have?
That's because people who deliberately annihilate thousands of innocents, including women and children, are the bad guys. Those that seek to protect innocents, and women and children, are understood by most to be the good guys.
Here's to you Catholicguy.
It was Catholicguy. Thank God.
Psst, CG. This is a war on Islam. And God is determining it, just as he determines all.
Is there anything we can learn from this?
When they came for the Catholics?
When they came for the Baptists?
When they came for the fundamentalists?
When they came for the agnostics?
Just something for all of us to think about -- is this picture larger than we currently see it?
Sorry but this is getting somewhat frightening. I have stated before that I am grateful that we have a President that has some morals and has faith in God. But !! It is a very scary thing when he makes political decisions based on his own (Ashcroft's to I believe) private interpretaion of scripture.
BTW, I too laughed at Hellen Thomas's statement and I too am not laughing anymore.
