    DHK post shows he/she is probably a good moderator. Sorry for expressing a different view. I'll leave you with your feel good about yourselves thoughts. And as far as the many people who don't see religion or the world exactly as you do, well thats why there is a hell.

    He post seemed even keeled and Christian like. The other posters have a lot of hate and prejudice in their hearts. JMHO.

    Who started this war? Why? </font>[/QUOTE]The terrorists did because they hate us, because we are the opposite of everything they believe in. </font>[/QUOTE]Wrong answer. Bush started this war in Iraq because he wanted to occupy the oilfields. You realize we're buildinf permanent bases in Iraq, right? Yes, we had a terrorism problem before invading Iraq but it's gotten much worse since then.

    Let me get this straight - You asked an innocent sounding question, and when you received the answer, you used your 'Christian' love by hitting us over the head with your own ego and self effacing hate. If you are some kind of comedian, perhaps you should seek another topic. Terrorism is too close to home for some of us to enjoy the witty banter you might engage in at cocktail parties or whatever.

    No hate here. Prejudice? Sounds like you are flipping typical cards into the debate because you have nothing of value to add. OR you have entirely different definitions of hate and prejudice than the rest of us.

    I suppose I could have appreciated your opinions more if you had not used your church as a platform to speak out on your personal opinions of certain worldly topics. And it would have helped immensely if you knew what it was you were talking about instead of launching into something that sounded like a headline from the National Enquirer.

    Lastly, if I were you, I would certainly cease commenting on what others have in their hearts. You dont know any more about that than you know about your topic. Talk about prejudice....

    Baloney.

    Al Qaeda and their sympathizers like the Taliban started this war. And the Iraqi government was an al Qaeda sympathizer as well.

    Civilians get killed in wars all of the time. The terrorists intentionally kill civilians, go out of their way to kill civilians, make sure they kill civilians.

    We kill civilians because it is unavoidable in killing the terrorists or bringing about the unconditional surrender of nations like Germany and Japan in World War II.

    Odd, in the six months I 'occupied' Iraq, I never saw any oil to steal, since you know I am entitled to the spoils of war? Oh brother.

    What some people do not know about the reasons for war - is a lot.

    It's likely we'll get more of a market share of Iraqi oil in the next few years, but we're not really getting any right now because the infrastructure is so damaged it needs to be put right before production can go up to its normal level. This isn't going to happen until Bush is out of office. The sole result of this will be marginally cheaper gasoline in the US. Then ex-President Bush will receive the same perk as everyone else in the US--saving a few cents a gallon at the pump.

    So what is President Bush's pressing personal interest in Iraqi oil? Leaving out conspiracy theories, of course.

    Let me get this straight. You don't like people saying Bush has similarities to Hitler yet you make very sweeping generalizations of ALL liberals and then you accuse ALL liberals of having mental disorders? And THEN you talk about THEIR hateful rhetoric?

    Joseph...I'm sure you can write better things than that.

    Yes there is oil there. About 1/3 of the world's oil supply is sitting under the sands of Iraq. And the problem is..wait for it...
    Saudi Arabia.

    They do not wish for more oil to infiltrate the world's supply system because it would cause all oil prices to drop.

    The President's personal interest in Iraqi oil? I would say no more than any other American's personal interest. I have read many things on the President's commitment to alternative fuels - we use them in the military already - and I am praying that people will embrace it and move on. That would take a great deal of bargaining chips out of oil rich countries bag of tools.

    Without oil, there would still be struggle for power and strife. And there will be people perverting their religious teachings to stretch it to fit their hatred.

    No I don't have a problem making comparisons between them. We went over that before. Propaganda techniques to win over the people, etc. etc. etc.

    Would you like it if I said conservatism is a disease which causes people to think only of themselves while leaving other poor souls to die cuz they "couldn't cut it"? One which causes people to support a war at the same time making the excuse..."well...if they call me I'll go..."?
