Reply #58: What a disingenous argument [View All]

[Ms. Clio]

Calling the "enemy" Satan is exactly equivalent to calling for killing them in the name of the God who supposedly opposes Satan.

But hey, then, let's just go with Jerry Falwell's injunction to "blow them all away in the name of the Lord!"

How about dropping cluster bombs on children, shooting civilians as they try to flee a city, using a napalm-like substance on civilians, or invading a defenseless country that never posed any threat to us in the first place? Which are the greater evils?

The "non-military personnel who are trying to rebuild infrastructure" are greedy opportunists out to make a buck. Nothing is being rebuilt in Iraq. See Naomi Klein's article in Harper's Mag. I'd post a link, but somehow I don't think you are here to actually learn any facts. And anyone who harps on "beheadings" as if that was the only standard of barbarity raises certain suspicions--it's a common tactic among certain posters here, most of whom are no longer with us.
