Man will suffer the plague of gods as long as zealots use them for evil.

Mr. President,
There are numerous news stories as well as first-hand accounts describing your consultation with your God before deciding to invade Iraq. You said, 'God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did."

Your words constantly 'leak over' from your religious beliefs to your foreign policy. Terms you use to depict your views on "global war on terror" come out of your mouth as a struggle between good and evil.

You believe your invasion of Iraq is merely fulfilling your duties as the executor of God's divine will.
When you were asked whether you had asked your father, for advice on what to do in the mid east, you replied that your earthly father was "the wrong father to appeal to for advice ... there is a higher father that I appeal to."

Zealot's have long used their God's guidance to start wars. You are not the first nor the last to use a God for your own purposes.

Back in the eleventh century, European Christians also coveted something the Muslims owned; it wasn't oil; it was the land they lived on. The land was considered holy by all Christians because Christ had lived and died there.

Pope Gregory VII called for the Roman Catholic version of a 'fatwa' against the Muslims. He called for milites Christi "soldiers of Christ" to battle the Seljuk Turks in Persia known today as Iran.

He was pretty much ignored until Pope Urban II initiated the idea of a Crusade to capture the Holy Land. He exclaimed the reason for the crusades was "Deus le vult! " "God wills it!" This is how the holy wars started.

According to wikipedia, "The Papacy saw the Crusades as a way to assert Catholic influence as a unifying force, with war as a religious mission. This was a new attitude to religion: it brought religious discipline, previously applicable to monks, to soldiery—the new concept of a religious warrior and the chivalric ethos."

It was as though you copied your term paper from the Vatican library.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's President, used the very same rational. "Today, you are among the world's most powerful armies because you rely on God," Ahmadinejad declared at a parade to commemorate Army Day.

Ahmadinejad also said Iran's army would "serve peace and security for mankind especially the region and its neighbours."

So whose God is more powerful? Our God; of course, because God created America.
Those bastards in the mid east killed God's son, so he can't be too happy with them. I am not sure about Iran; I believe they must be praying to God-knows-who.


Perhaps the second try at pulling together a group of nations will be the charm.

Your efforts to pull together a powerful coalition after failing to get the UN to support your war against Iraq was such a joke. Why do you think this time it will be different?

Both China and Russia are reluctant to bow to your will and impose sanctions on Iran. For some reason, you refuse to deal with Iran directly or with North Korea. You would rather work indirectly through other nations. What are you afraid of?

R. Nicholas Burns, under Secretary of State for political affairs and the lead envoy on Iran said, "it's not beyond the realm of the possible that at some point in the future a group of countries could get together, if the Security Council is not able to act, to take collective economic action collective action on sanction."

You are so popular, I believe some of the original coalition countries the likes of Tonga and Moldova may consider joining you again.
