81. No, that's BS
Edited on Sun Jun-13-04 09:47 PM by meluseth
Sure, the born-again general and Bush too probably sees this as somewhat of a holy war, but so what? That doesn't mean they would be doing anything differently than if they were total non-believers. Do you think the motive in Iraq is religious?

So what? So what??? The guy who fantasizes about being a dictator might see this as a holy war, and that's just peachy keen with you?

I think there are any numbers of motives for Iraq--oil, strategic denial of resources to other nations, an attempt to reshape the Middle East in the U.S. plans to prevent any other power from rising to contest its hegemony. That's not BS--it's called PNAC, and if you're not familiar with it, I suggest you look it up

I also know that someone posted just today that a released female prisoner saw teenagers being given Bibles, that prisoners trying to read their Q'urans are harassed, etc. Is there some systematic plan in place to convert the Iraqis? No, but there is certainly a deeply disturbing indication of a fundamental lack of respect for their religion and humanity.

The rest of your post is not worth a response--no one has uttered anything about "plots," except you. I won't say what you sound like to me, but three years of experience here gives me a keen nose for your kind.

feh

Edited to add links to what Christian Reconstructionists/Dominionists do believe, which does include everything I said--my goodness, you're taking this a little personally, aren't you, hitting too close to home?
