We've got smart bombs. They haven't stopped the violence. We've got special forces, they are at a loss to consider stopping the violence. We've even got NUCLEAR WEAPONS that can potentially wipe out mankind and all other living things on this earth. All due to political and/or religious differences?
I am reminded of a speech that I made in my freshman year in high school. The speech concerned a dog fight.
My uncle had a very docile dog. He let the dog run the neighborhood at will. A neighbor also had a dog that often terrorized the neighborhood kids and barked all night long. One day the neighbor was walking his dog on a leash. My uncle's dog was running loose as always. The leashed dog barked menacingly at my uncle's dog and my uncle's dog went directly into attack mode. My uncle picked up a board and immediately went about to separate the dogs. As he swung, his own dog dodged and he inadvertantly hit the leashed dog. The owner of the leashed dog immediately said, "Hit the right damn dog!!!!!".
I have thought about this for many years. My uncle intended to hit his own dog for his uncharacteristic behaviour despite the offending actions of the leashed one.
Which is the offending action?
Americans can annilate the world with their weapons. The opposition knows this and they don't care about that circumstance. We are responsibly refraining from world destruction. The opposition has no such capacity. But, they fight on. Why? It's not any hate of freedom they embrace. Maybe it's an unfair and unjust intervention? Maybe it's a religious uprising? I really don't know!
But, I know that Bush is just a beebee in this WAR and I know that religious freedom will prevail as it has in the 20 centuries before this latest transgression.
Convert them or kill them? Jesus never even approached that kind of ideology. Maybe we're not reading the scriptures or the history books closely enough? Don't you think?

I'll go for the leashed animal.
