What do you guys think about a 'holy' war?

If I remember correctly, Palin claimed that the Iraq War is something God wants done, that God has something in store for everyone. Do you guys feel this is true? Religious or non-religious, this question is not intended to offend anyone. I just wanted to know if you guys think the Iraq War being intended as a 'holy' war is the right term to describe it?? or is it the right reason to be fighting???

    I think Bush said that 2. No one know but God and man or woman can't speak for God. I think it comical that people are concern about the holy war but treat but hate their brother or sister. You have to get your life right with the Lord and be saved. If you have that, you have nothing to worry about. (=

    The people at the controls right now are ideologues, and if they have their way we will end up with some kind of unholy alliance of big business and Christian conservatism. Military-industrial theocracy isn't something I would like to live under.

    The worst scandal in our history is going on right now. Cheney and company have pushed poor muddle-headed George W, into a less-than-useless "war" that is bankrupting the nation financially, diplomatically, socially and militarily, creating in the process debts that our grandchildren won't be able to pay and squandering good will toward America that took centuries to earn. At the same time they have run roughshod over civil rights and the Constitution, and to top it off failed to adequately regulate financial markets, which has led to the credit and housing collapse, and allowed a few greedy corporations and individuals to make obscene, tax-free profits at he expense of the nation as a whole. Throw in unchecked environmental degradation and the insidious introduction of religion into national policy and you have the worst presidency in our history.

    Congress gets a share of the blame. They don't have the guts to stand up to the White House, or do what they were elected to do: act in the interest of the nation as a whole rather than being yes-men for whatever special interest group they think will help get them re-elected.

    Other than that, everything in Washington is just peachy.

    That brings us down to the same level of humanity as the radical Islam, and their jihad. Sarah Palin made it sound like we were going to the Holy Lands on the Crusades.

    God doesn't take sides in a war. Do you really think God would want people killing in his name?

    i am personally an atheist and its comments like this that make me one. i find it too hard to believe that if there was a God that he'd let all this **** go on. He's meant to be all loving and caring after all. But yeah everyones entitled to their beliefs even if they are as crazy as saying that whats going on in iraq is Gods plan
