I put the human shield people in the same group of ignorant liberals who live in their own world of fantasy. To have a peace activist get kidnapped by the people who we warn them about is so ironic, you have to like it on a certain level. Since you can't tell these people anything, maybe this will wake them up.

Last time I checked every major gay organization, far from bashing the military, was trying to let us get in.

You still have not addressed how you think that Iraq will prosper under their newly-found democracy. How is a democracy where 97% of the population is Muslim going to become a Christian-based nation? Also, I have to once again point out that you've made it very clear that a government should reflect the religion of its people, and that "secularism" is a recipe for downfall. <<< We know that whena nation is Islam and it pushes a Taliban style government it fails and the people suffer and people get killed. >>> I think we can all agree on that. <<< Iraq is not going to go that route, or so we are hoping. >>> So we are. But it would seem that perhaps the only way to avoid that situation is to promote a secular democratic government, exactly what you have been saying will be the downfall of the United States unless we move back to our religious roots. Beau, you keep dancing around the issues here.

Matthew 5,7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Matthew 5,44 But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that hate you. If only Muhammad had found Jesus, what a World this would have been.
