Absolutely not, Jesus was a Liberal...Love thy neighbor, turn the other cheek, and all...

Who knows? I think considering the fact that Jesus was an advocate for the weak and down-trodden (which the Iraqi people were, and many still are!), yes, He would have.
It isn't that Jesus promoted killing, it's just that He understood that sometimes a nation HAD to fight.
The only way that Iraq could become a democratic nation is by ousting Hussein and his entire cabinet, and all who were loyal to him.
Could this have been done nonviolently? No, at least not without even MORE cost of human life.
Jesus illustrated that anger is sometimes justified, for example, when there was so much dishonesty in His Father's Temple. Did He just speak to those people nicely? NO! He shouted, and overturned tables, and physically removed them from the Temple!
There is nothing wrong with righteous anger.

No Jesus wouldn't want to attack Iraq, but he would probably be over there helping try and rebuild it though...

A mind numbingly dumb question. I don`t think what Christians have resorted to in his name was what he had in mind when he kicked off his little cult. Christians have managed to reduce the population of this planet pretty damn well because of their so called love of God. Bush is a so called Christian, just look at what he`s doing, and Christians have the nerve to call Islam an evil religion. Unbelievable. I have no problem with Christian values, what i do have a problem with is how they are interpreted.

No, Jesus would never attack those that consider him a prophet.

Iraq is where He was born (Bethlehem) so I'm going to say no. Plus, He is the Prince of Peace so....another no.
