David sent troops out to kill. And yet would you consider him any less favoured by God? There are times in history that leaders have to stand in the face of wrong in the manner Mr. Bush is doing. Please remember a lot of opinion right now is swayed by the news media. Can you or anyone else in the common realm manifest the purest knowledge as to what the authorities (Bush) know? Do you fully understand the ideology of the culture of the groups Mr. Bush or any of the other world leaders are targeting? It is easy to have an opinion about right and wrong, but is that opinion appropriate?A bit of history, the world sat back for a number of years while a tyrant murdered innocents until it threatened world stability in the free. The British leader waived a sheet of paper after having been fooled by this tyrant that England had nothing to worry about. Within months even the monarchy were awakened to the fact this has to be dealt with. As they wiped there countrymen of the blood that was spilled in the blitz. Try and fathom how the then Princess Elizabeth felt, as she helped carry the stretchers of her fellow English men and women to safety and some to their final resting place. Can you sleep at night complaining Mr. Bush is wrong when the threat of 9/11 will be a constant until everyone is willing to lay down their sword? Please understand the question you asked you are using your sword to slice at a Leader and another person.

Where does it say one cannot be both a Christian and a leader?
And it's President George W. Bush, not bush 2

GWB did not send anyone to kill anyone.
People were sent to Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein and help the Iraqi people.
I think people have the right to defend themselves when they are attacked, so our military had a right to defend themselves when other people started shooting at them.
I don't think dictators have the right to defend themselves though. I think dictators have the right to be removed. The Iraqi people thought the same way so they hung Saddam.
There are some pro-dictator people who keep attacking people in Iraq, mostly Iraqis. There are also pro-dictator people here in the United States. You generally see pro-dictator people at political rallies for the Democrats.

First of all- "Thou shalt not kill" has nothing to do with war. Remember in scripture there are wars. God never said we could not have a war to fight for independence or for protection. Instead of complaining about our leader, why don't you pray for him, and support those men and women who put their lives on the line everyday.

What would you expect a Christian national leader to do? Sit there and meditate while our enemies blow us up??
