You do know we are teaching and setting up Iraqi's as leaders. You know this, right? Tell me you know this.

Oh, yes I just heard the other day, how we are going to replace the leader of the Iraqi mililia that is taking on the terrorist.
Seems the people objected to one of Saddam's henchmen being put in authority? Who did they say we were going to replace him with, another of Saddam's former henchmen?

Actually, I wanted to make sure that I was being understood in reference to capitalism vs democracy so this may be a little off subject of the thread.
Now I am not really into government, history & such so I may be mistaken.
In recent years a group had been formed (AARP). The group is basically fixed income retired persons, who have taken this action to fight for their well being & benefits.
We know they are fighting against whom? Corporations like medical 7 drug manufactures, hospital corporations & health related suppliers, etc to name a few. What are they going to do? Apply the democratic process, they are pooling their limited resourses to lobby for them because these corperations are investing in lobbying for their corporate interest. Right?

Let us see, American corporations go into other countries (like in SA) invest in the growth (productivity) of those nations.
Of course these countries are underdeveloped so their governing system comes to realize the finacial rewards of this developement.
Soon the people find they are not being given a fair share, the level of poverty is raised which means it cost more to live & their country is being stripped of it's natural resources. They tend to blame those American corporations, they destroy American property & even take American lives.

Now those dirty commie bastards move in to capitalize on the situation & the corporation goes to the lobbyist & America sends troops to protect American people & interest.
Right, isn't that how it works?
Democracy => your lobbyist dollars buys you equal voice in government. How much fairer can you get? Right.
Oh the American people send their children to fight & perhaps die for these American corporations to go into these countries & {seize control (buy) their government's rule} fight Comunism (not terrorist). Then we fought communism & now we fight terrorism

You forgot something. The war cost a lot of money while the war machine makes a lot of money. The lobyist will do there best to convince whoever they need to convince that we need to go to war. Some people who don't know any better will give there life so that someone else becomes richer. Worse, the American people will convince these young men and women that they need to die for their country. God does not sanction this. My God doesn't.

"Because I understand the necessity for WAR doesn't mean I like it, and these quotes show God uses war to abolish sins. It also shows, the Lord doesn't like it either. But necessitates it's use."
Well that's exactly the problem isn't it?
Saddam was no threat to the US, so why the intervention.
The Saddam-Quaeda link is non-existent and Saddam had no WMDs and we were already fairly certain he had no WMDs.

There was NO necessity, unless you can explain why there was a need.

Now, a war with North Korea is arguably necessary. They have a nuclear program and pretty much everyone in and out of the region agrees they are a problem (China, Russia, USA).
Had Bush gone the N.Korea, the war could have been called necessary.

What you describe is turning them into an American puppet.
What you describe is far from democracy.

This I am afraid to say, but as soon as the oil runs out or we convert to non fossel fuels, the freedom of Iraq will nolonger be important to us. What is happening now will be used as an excusse to turn our back on them later. I would hope to think more highly of America. But I have no doubts about the motives of the current administration.

Concerning God, the bible and war, I have my doubts. I follow the teachings of Gnostics who believed this to be the teachings of the faslse god. If God is like a good father as Jesus teaches, surely he would not encourage his children to fight.
