Francis Clark,

Read your Bible again and see how many times God told His government leaders to kill. Abraham (Isaac); Moses, Joshua, Samson, Solomon, Samuel (remember King Agag), David.
Then remember Jesus telling His Disciples to carry their swords for self-defense. Remember Peter pronouncing judgment (death) over Ananias & Saphira. Then Paul speaks of the right of Government to bear the sword (meaning to wage war and to kill criminals). It is you who needs to re-read the Bible and get a true picture of this subject. Christians who defend themselves are not committing murder. A nation that defends itself against an enemy who had attacked and killed its citizens is doing its duty and is supported by scripture. President Bush is a Christian leader who is defending you and all of us against an enemy who wants to kill us. Iraq included. Stop listening to the lies of appeasers who would allow your enemies to come after you and kill you. Thank God for the local policeman who is trained to kill to protect your life. Thank God for any leader who will defend our country (George Washington, Woodrow Wilson, Teddy Roosevelt, F. D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush). Some did it better than others, but they all performed their oath as President to defend the nation. And thank God for all the soldiers who have fought in defense of their homes in all the wars that Americans have fought in from the beginning to now. Thank God for my dad who was wounded in W.W. II defending against a nation that had not attacked us but who was in league with Japan who did attack us. He fought against Germany at Normandy and was wounded in the Black Forest. Thank God these brave men and women did not believe the way you do about killing. Or you would not be free today to spout such ignorance on the internet.
