But not every president believe that god hand picked them.

The rest of your post is just trying to deflect the issue.

They're not mutually exclusive. The reason was WMD's, and he was confident in his decision to invade because of WMD's because God told him to do it.

I'm pretty sure it was for the security of the country, but whatever reason you want to make up, that's fine.

National interests are always #1.

So do you believe it's acceptable for other nations, say, France, Germany, Russia, China, etc, to put their national interests ahead of ours.. when it means going against us over something major?

she wasnt asking for forgivness FROM the killers, she was asking for forgivness FOR the killers

aka, she wanted God to forgive them even tho they had just, basically, killed her

(sorry for the slow response to that)

Is this your opinion or have you read it somewhere?

The claim to seems outrageous - that christians go to Iraq with the intent to kill people because they are muslim.

I can understand they go with security, and defend themselves if they are threatened, but I don't see any signs of a religious crusade to exterminate persons of muslim faith.

if a group of people, let's say muslims for example, are accused by a prominant figure to be spreading their religion by way of violence, does it make sense to you that they are protesting his remarks specifically by being violent?

they firebomb churches, kill nuns, and in recent days have called for war against christians.


all they are doing now is proving the Pope's point. Don't you think they should be peacefully protesting like americans did against the war in iraq?

i have never seen a peaceful muslim protest not calling for the destruction of america/israel, and i read a shitload of news scources. if muslims want to prove to me that they are a religion, they must come out as a whole and openly oppose terrorism.
