The thing your missing in your long-winded rant (which oddly enough seems like it was written by a different person . . . are your parents helping you type?), is the fact that we didn't go to Iraq for a great Christian mission, we didn't go to stop terrorists, and we sure as hell didn't go to save the Iraqi people from terrorized by Saddam and Co. We went (were told we went) because of a)weapons of mass destruction; when that didn't pan out it was b)under the veil of the hilariously useless "War on Terror"; and now that our involvement in Iraq seems to be recruiting more to the terrorist agenda (gosh, i wonder why?) it's now about c)saving the Iraqi's.
But it never was and it never will be. Governments of the world don't care about the poor, the oppressed, the persecuted, or any other human rights violations. They only pay attention when something else in the situation benefits them. The U.S. toppled the President of Chile in favor of the dictator Pinochet, who had a ruthless regime. We mostly supported Ferdinand Marcos. We mostly supported Suharto. We continue to support China, despite their blatanly obvious persecution of everyone, including Christians. But Dubya must be right and doing God's work to be in league with them. Who else am I leaving out? There are the children in Uganda that have to walk hours every night to avoid being turned into soldiers and sex slaves, oddly enough by a man who is Christian and claims to be doing God's work via his Lord's Resistance Army. However, he continues to attack those very same people he's supposedly helping. We stood back and watched Rwanda unfold. SLORC in Burma. Most people will agree that the Vietnam War was a very bad thing. So bad in fact that it devolved into not knowing who the enemy was and necessitating the slaughter of most anyone because all were potential enemies. There was one point where a helicopter was strafing a village, the villagers were dying, and a separate U.S. helicopter turned on the U.S. forces because destroying a village was unncessary. What happened? The North Vietnamese troops wore us down. How is this important? It's exactly what's happening in Iraq and what is going to happen in Iraq. Bush is leaving it for another adminstration to deal with, eventually we will pull out because it's hardly worth the effort, and the power vacuum will probably be filled with another woman hating patriarchal misogynistic dictator.
Though as long as he's Christian, you'll probably congratulate him.
And as for all the inoculated Iraqi chidlren? That's great, it really is. Now can we start inoculating all the poor U.S. children whose parents can't afford basic necessities. But I suppose they live in the land of opportunity and it's their own damn fault they can't make something of themselves.
As long as I'm on a spiel here, what about Israel? You are wholly obsessed with God and Christianity and the tie between Dubya nad God that can't be broken. Since Christianity is the "one true religion" and Israel is a Jewish enclave, is Bush right to pursue and alliance with them? It seems he's not actually doing God's will and pursuing a Christian end. He's helping the infidels, the ones that murdered the savior.
AND a lot of the problems that plague the developing world can be traced back to imperialism and high colonialism that occurred concurrently with the religious zeal to force Christianity onto an unwilling populace.
Gandhi said "We must be the change we wish to see in the world". As applicable to you, you want everything to be a Christian world according to your narrow reading of the Bible. However, to everyone else reading your rants, you are not acting in accordance with that belief. You are behaving like a petulant child, an insulting bully, and a person without one shred of original thought. Is that honestly the change you wish to see in the world? I certainly hope not.

That article is hi-larious! Mostly because of how with a few years perspective, some of the comments are just fried gold. For example:
"Bush is frustrated by "a growing insurgency." Insurgency my foot. What we have is a temporary wave of terrorism carried out by a group of murderous thugs."
Funny how that "temporary wave" is still surfing along and gathering pace three years on.
"A further sign of weakness is that the terrorist organisers are now having to pay about $US5,000 for each attack against allied troops against the $US500 they recently paid. Even the cost of paying the unemployed to demonstrate has jumped to $US50 per demonstrator/rioter. Not that our journalists would ever mention that 'demonstrators' have been receiving blood money."
Considering that US Government pays its troops and also pays for propaganda to support its policies... what's the difference?
"Now the likes of Wilkinson's so-called reporting on Iraq bears an eerie comparison with media reporting of the 1968 communist Tet offensive. Despite promising a truce during the religious festival of Tet the Communist North Vietnamese still launched an offensive. The result was a devastating defeat for Hanoi.
Nevertheless, leftwing journalists reported that the South and its American allies had suffered a crushing defeat. (The bastards are still doing it)."
We did not lose Vietnam! That was a draw! Don't call me stupid!
"Electricity production is another success story that the likes of Wilkinson deliberately ignore. Generation has been restored to the pre-war level, even though some plants had to be taken offline for maintenance reasons. In the meantime, the Americans are installing water driven generators as backup for the grid."
Whoops! Electricty is now over a quarter less than it was pre-war.

"Also underway is the rebuilding of the country's water infrastructure that Saddam allowed to badly deteriorate. This project, the one that Wilkinson didn't think worth mentioning, involves building water pumping stations and sewerage treatment plants. The result should see a significant fall in the child mortality rate."
Whoops! Things continue to get worse under the Americans and now they're reducing how much they're even trying.

"Thanks to the liberation, for the first time in 50 years or so the country has an independent judiciary: There are no torture chambers, political prisoners, arbitrary arrests or executions."
Except for those who the Americans (and British) deem fit to torture, imprison politically, arrest arbitrarily or execute.
I really hope you come back after the November elections. I think even using the National Guard (what's left of it) to round up the Mexicans isn't going to cut it this time.

Other people can occasionally be useful, especially as minions. I want lots of minions.

Lol, but I actually put that there for other people to see (for those who maybe didn't know what you were referring to).

"God directs our President!" ALL HAIL !
The crowd turns as one to the sound of many boots. Silently they salute the President, the representative of God on earth.
So am I supposed to worship the President and follow God? Believe God and follow the Bush? I'm so confused.
Nearly everything I know I learned by the grace of others.

You are a despicable pagan. Yes you heard me right beeaatch, time to bitch slap your heathen arse down!
Here's how it is:
Christianity grew from a radical Jewish cult that praised a man executed for blaspheme. The charge was mainly levelled because Jesus was a rebel and had the potential to severely threaten the status quo, something neither the Jewish nor Roman power structure was particularly thrilled about. It is also worth noting that the charge of Blaspheme wasn't exactly trumped up, Jesus *DID* tell the Jewish priests he was the son of God and would sit at gods right hand...
So all Christians, just like Muslims, are members of a cult of Judaism.
But the story doesn't stop there. You see Judaism didn't miraculously appear from nowhere. It grew from an ancient Canaanite religion which was polytheistic (multiple gods). The particular god in question was the Canaanite war God usually referred to as El, sometimes Ba'al and sometimes El-Ba'al or similar. It is believed that the cult became the cult of the god that can not be named because people may not be happy following a war god. This explains why it is still Taboo to speak the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) in the Torah and the Taboo's of 'taking the lords name in vain'.
Ba'al Zebub was a god believed to be associated with an unknown Phoenician city Zebub. The demonisation of the enemy god grew into the entity we now know as Beelzebub.
So as you can see Christianity is a Cult of a War god cult of a pagan religion.
You my friend are the biggest heathen of them all.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
And as you know, these are open forums, you're able to come and listen to what I have to say.
