an act of evil

I've never been able to understand how anyone could condone what happened to Iraq. All indications are that they got rid of virtually all their weapons in 1991, which is 12 years ago.
The war was for nothing and was an evil act. That general got up and claimed it was about his God versus Satan. Virtually every Christian religious leader in the world said before the war that it would be an evil act, that there was no justificiation to go in and kill innocent people on a hypothetical threat.
If anyone has any concept of being religious at all this should make you think about what side you are on. All Christian churches believe it was evil to support that war. That means one day when you die and are judged, their consensus is you are going to a place a lot hotter than Iraq.
If you aren't religious fair enough. That however is what your church is telling you is right and wrong. They are saying those who supported that war supporting killing innocent people because of a possibility they might have weapons that could kill other people in return.
2003 is not the time to be redefining morality. This is an evil purpose, it always has been. If people think it was done in the name of Christianity try reading about what the word means.
Innocent people are dead and there never were any weapons. There never was any real evidence there even were weapons, no intelligence agency supported the war. It's not right to just invade another country and kill lots of innocent people because maybe they might attack you in the future if they ever got weapons. This is said to be evil in the Bible and said to be evil throughout Christianity. People that support policy like that are braver than I am, or had better hope their religions are wrong about this.
Apparently Bush knows more about economics than anyone else. Now he's supposed to know more about morality than the Pope. Why should I believe the Republican Party over what Jesus said?
