My biggest confusion is how anyone who calls themselves a Christian can support this war. An estimate 400,000-800,000 Iraqi's are now dead due to the instability we created. Our false belief that militarism is a good way to bring peace is the height of hypocracy and is everything that Jesus stood against. O'Riley's typical response to this is a comment about Saddam being an evil, evil man. Unfortunately, we helped put this evil man into power, and looked the other way while he committed the worst of his atrocities. All we did by taking him out was to create a power vacuum, breeding more instability in the middle east and furthering the common notion there of American Neo-Colonialism. The only thing Iraq has done is to fuel the fire.
What you don't know will kill you.
All is not as it appears.
Be glad the U.S. has professionals on the job keeping your ass safe for Democracy.
