Waaaait
My response to a comment on my blog… My lack of compassion attests to my hatred of Bush? My lack of compassion? Because I don’t think putting our troops in Iraq for twice as long as they were supposed to be there is fair? Because I don’t think the way to take down a dictator who slaughters people in his own country is to march troops(and not enough troops) through it and slaughtering people in his country along the way?
War is horrible. So when you go to war, and yes I believe sometimes you have to fight, you better have a fucking good reason. Bush kept changing that reason reducing its validity.
When it comes down to it you could say it’s because Saddam was a dictator who slaughtered his own people. Which means America is now the cop, judge, and jury and must go to every country where the people are being slaughtered and mutilated by their government. If that’s your only valid reason, which it is, since Saddam opposed no threat to the United States. The United States is much farther away than Iraqi citizens are.
But oh, that’s right, America usually puts that government into power or gives them weapons. Ex: Saddam Hussein, the Taliban.
Real compassionate conservatives like my relatives for instance, don’t believe in war. Jesus teaches love =P

So this is where you’ve been hiding and not responding to my e-mails. Being one of those conservative christians (at least personally if not politically) I agree; war is horrible and certainly not sanctioned by anything that I’ve read in the Bible. A true christian would do whatever was in her powerto stop wrongdoing without resulting to violence because, “those who live by the sword shall die by the sword.” The most affective way to change others is to show them a good example. ~Lady Michiru

Heyo @_@; Just wondered in here from a link given by a friend because she noticed that we have both the same nicknames XD Anyway, I do agree on you with your views on war. It’s pretty much unnecessary, and I just don’t understand why people want so much for power and money…
^^; Okay a stranger commenting in is weird. Anyway, take care, even though I don’t know you XD

I agree on your statement. I wouldn’t say that since I dislike Bush, I’ll vote for John Kerry, because they are both horrible canidates to be presidents. Kerry also wants War, just like Bush. Bush didn’t go to Iraq just to get Saddam off of government; he did it for the oil. Do you really think Bush cares about our troops or about the people in Iraq, where blood sheds everyday in the main streets of this country. No. United States only cares about their profits and what we pay them out of our own work money every month. My friend’s brother has been to Iraq twice…and I really think it’s unnecessary.
