How would Jesus react?
The USA plans to drop a minmum of 3000 bombs on Iraqis in the frist two days of the conflict. Collateral damage for these first 2 days is estimated to be between 200 and 250 thousand civilians. The number of refugees created in this time period will be an estimated 2 million.
Do you think Jesus will be satisfied with this death toll, or do you think he would weep? Would he cheer on the Bush doctrine of murdering innocents in order to control 1/8th of the world's developed oil reserves, or would he suggest that the perpetrator is a servant of Satan?
I don't know what Bible they read in the White House, but all the editions in the English language contradict the current policy of first strike. Jesus said to turn the other cheek.
