9. It has also been politicized but this invasion, it is obvious cannot ever
be defended as "just". It simply was and is not anything else but greed, striving for empire, and coveting the goods of others. I don't think anyone professing to be a Christian can defend this invasion as an undertaking that would be approved by any leader of any Christian religion except for the SBC.

The question of just or not just is a straw man--it does not matter whether we believe in just or not just--but whether this was a moral thing to do in the minds of any person who claims to be a Christian--whether all codices of Christianity were ignored in favor of greed and I would add, in favor of waging in the case of the very religious Bush, another crusade against the infidels. His god spoke to him--remember?

Oh I know , now that the evil deed has been done, that many will attempt to wash the blood from their hands, shouting "out damned spot" and claim and say it is more moral to stay there and not abandon the stupid people we conquored because they are incapable of forming their own government, but that is another straw man, imo.
