Nope!! All of that is purly the vanity of Man. God does not play sides..he does not help Football teams win..he does not cure cancer..WE do.
God..gave us everything we need to either sink or swim. it is up tp us all how we use this greatest gift. The Gift of our Lives.

I have to ask myself this question when I think about this war: could I see Jesus going into a house and killing someone for being a suspected terrorist or blowing up a home? No. So I don't believe that America is following Biblical principles.
In the Bible, the only times that God blessed war was when it was for defense (when they were being directly attacked), or when it was to take the land back the God promised to them.
So, No I don't believe that God blesses this war.
There are two types of God's will. One is the perfect will of God where he has an ultimate plan that may or may not make sense to us. The second one is his permissive will, which is where we really really want something and God finally says, you want it you can have it even though it's not the best thing for you.
A prayer to win a war is like "God help our side win". Both sides pray for the war to be won. This war may be won by the U.S. but I believe it's God's permissive will, not his perfect will.
War and killing does NOT relate to God's love.

gosd is not in the side of america in the iraq war. there is an indian saying that god waits and punishes. similarly god wil wait for the right time and punish the wrong doers in the iraq war, be it george bush or anyone else. justice will be done by god in the right time. he knows when to do what.

No, that would be very arrogant for any American to think. Iraq was a offensive war, we were not provoked by them... why should God side with the US if its the aggressor.
God does not speak to people so there is no way of knowing.

As opposed to the god of Abraham, who the Moslems worship?
Don't you guys all worship the same god?
Easy way to answer the question, was the US victory won with no losses in a matter of days? No. Was the US defeated by the Iraqis with no civilian losses? No.
Join the dots.
It does look rather like the god of Abraham is sitting this one out.
Or, looked at another way, this is a war started by men for purely ungodly reasons.

LOOK BACK INTO THE OTHER WARS. THE UNITED STATES HAD VICTORY IN ALL THOSE WARS, AND THAT WAS BECAUSE THE UNITED STATES WAS BUILT UPON CHRISTIANITY. CHRIST SHOULD BE THE FOUNDATION BECAUSE IT IS ABSOLUTELY FIRM FOUNDATION. IF THE UNITED STATES IS STILL STANDING UPON CHRISTIANITY THEN THE UNITED STATES WILL HAVE THE VICTORY. PROSPERITY IS NOT BY CHANCE BUT BY CHOICE AND CHRISTIANITY IS THE RIGHT CHOICE TO HAVE THE VICTORY. JUST THINK OF ALL THE THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE PAST, IT IS NOT BY ACCIDENT THAT THE UNITED STATES HAVE HAD THE VICTORY ALL THE TIME. THE UNITED STATES IS BLESSED THE NATION OF ISRAEL. ISRAEL IS GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE AND GOD TOLD THE ANCESTORS OF THE NATION OF ISRAEL THAT HE WILL BLESS THOSE THAT BLESS YOU AND CURSE THOSE THAT CURSE YOU AND THE UNITED STATES FOREIGN ACTIONS MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE. THE UNITED STATES IS GOING TO HAVE THE VICTORY BECAUSE GOD DOES KEEP HIS WORD. HE IS FAITHFUL AND BY HIM ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

Hey, my friend. This is not a war of people. It is a war of God's.
The heavenly God vs earthly God. pure and simple.
Iraq is a Battle ground, not the war.
The Heavenly God wins the war. I read the past page of the Bible :)

God is not one anyone's side, and he is on everyone's side.
God loves and cares for ALL of his creation - not just the ignorant red-necked parts that happen to live in 'merica.

Everybody always says God is on their side. They'll use that excuse when more factual-based rationales are difficult to come by.
