It is a faith that God can judge man. But it is also a faith that man can not judge other men or women. It is quite clear on this issue. So, Is shooting or bombing someone in the military an immoral act? Is morality apriori or discovered in living life?

There is no question of morality. It is actually apolitical bungling.
The US government is unable to resolve the issue. Since US initiated the action the UN has no voice. Thus the whole issue hangs like an unsolved riddle

In morality there is no war. There is only preaching, and in preaching you do not force people to accept your opinions/religion/sect. There was a passage in the bible that says if the town does not accept your preachings, leave and shake the dusts off your sandals. The bible did not say anything about killing those who are not of your religion/moral opinions. Also you cannot judge a man according to his faith of choice. If the faith he chose made him a better person than he was before, is there any reason to kill him?

Killing is immoral, because it ends a life, no matter what the reasons are.

Morality has nothing do with government action. The US is engaged in military action, possibly ignoring or bending international laws in the process.

Morality is a religious matter. And generally has no bearing on how military actions are committed, except by coincidence where the laws governing combat happen to be the same as the rules of morality.

This war is for money as is any war. In the world their are many countries that need our help, some even more than iraq. yet we do nothing for them, why is that?

because we gain nothing from some poor country in africa or asia. The u.s. has a history of fighting in places where it gains something be it access, land, resources.

I also think that has something to do with religion. The spread of christianity is not in your face but by trying to introduce our way of life to these people we are saying we know whats best. everywhere you look we have the word GOD.

wow,i am glad i didn't get left standing alone at the train station.the people of Iraq are dealing with terrorism just as the USA is,the war is on terror,not the people of Iraq,and nobody knows this better than the GOOD people of Iraq,who are glad we are there.shooting and bombing terrorist is a very moral act.it is the terrorist or the people of Iraq.the terrorist,bombing and killing close to 3000 innocent people or a free society,don't matter if it is the USA or the UK or France or India,or any other country.the terrorist have a dream of being the rulers of the entire planet that will never happen,they and I guess you think that,this will make a better world.

God will not forgive your soldiers that kill old men, women, and children. God will also not forgive the suicide bombers, terrorist who use the name of Islam for their grief. God will not forgive President Bush who delightens himself over the death of so many civilians. Today is a terrible day for America, we in the Muslim communities pray for the loss of so many innocent victims of a cause that can not be justified. Osama bin Laden will not be forgiven for what he has done, for he has included women and children and this is against the Koran.

Peace, and may God be with You.

Your question indicates your ignorance. We are not at war with Iraq -- we are saving them. Read a news story once in a while.
