I have given up trying to explain my personal beliefs regarding the war, but just for the record:
It is not our place to judge others, and Jesus told us to love one another. Love those you count as enemies. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. My mother-in-law said the people in Iraq who were being tortured are our "neighbors" and that's why we went to war. Amnesty International has been screaming for years and "finally" someone listened. So we went to war, we bombed the crap out of a country & out of one of the world's oldest cities, rather than pursue human rights violations charges in an international court of law? Ah, but that might uncover too much about the US's involvement in Iraq...
And I thought it was to find Weapons of Mass Destruction (that our military initially supplied, so we know they're there... somewhere, supposedly, in that country the size of Texas...). I also thought Saddam was Hitler, minus the charisma, of course, but with master plans of world-dominion, surely, and it was the US's God-given duty to rid the world of him (even though "they" put him in charge in the first place but hush hush). I think it is imperative that those who say "God is on our side" be certain that they are actually on God's side...
The US broke Iraq's back with war and sanctions for 12 years, and now is planning to occupy it. This country's illegitimate figurehead businessmen would love to occupy Iraq for 30 years, colonize it, make it pay for its own reconstruction, and also supply a nice salary for all those formerly involved with, oh, let's say Haliburton et al...
Oh yes it is about the oil, and it is about empire, and it is about small minded greedy chicken hawk uber-righteous neo-cons with piggy little eyes and cocaine nose jobs who have sold their soul for power and wealth.
The earth is ours. A new day will dawn, and we will realize all the hopes and dreams in our hearts. Walk humbly, seek justice, love mercy, do not judge others, and most importantly, love one another. Those are simple and difficult things to do. Some day every one will be free. I believe that.
Jah guide I through this valley.
Imagine all the people living life in peace.
