McCain Campaign Backs Palin’s ‘Irag War is Task from God’
“This is an incredibly humble statement, a statement that this campaign stands by 100%, and a sentiment that any religious American will share — the hope that our country’s actions are indeed righteous,” a campaign spokesman, Michael Goldfarb, said.
What I can’t understand about some people with regard to the Iraq War is why they believe they can “pray it Righteous”. You can’t march in to a foreign country — invade it, if you will — and have over 400,000 civilian Iraqi deaths while perfectly executing “God’s plan”. When you make orphans and widows by the thousand, you only create more animosity and make us less safe. If the French had stayed in America after the Revolutionary War and started crafting and shaping our government, spying on the Framers — how would we have reacted?
Read ‘The War Prayer’ by Mark Twain and THINK! We can’t win an occupation and we shouldn’t even argue over an unjust war. You can’t just pray your war is righteous and have it be so, and “turn the other cheek” has never been so betrayed. I guess Jesus is just a quotation of convenience for some religious war hawks.
