let's assume jesus were alive in the human form today. would he be more likely to take the side of the conservatives (mostly christians) and support the war in iraq, or would he side with liberals (mostly non-christian) and be against the war?

its doubtful he would endorse the occupation, the occupations use of wmd like phosphorus, depleted uranium, or napalm. doubtful he would have took kindly to cooked up info and propaganda that was being feed to the sheeple.

I cannot see Jesus taking a gun against anyone. The only time that Jesus showed any form of anger was when he saw people disrespecting God. I don't believe that Jesus would hate any Muslim. Jesus showed compassion and so, I think he would definitely be a liberal and oppose the war.

He would do neither. This is shown by what he said at John 17:16: "They are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world." Jesus was politically neutral, as were his first century followers. True Christians today do the same and do not get involved in politics or political debates.

I would think that he would be totally against war of any kind. He told one of his disciples to put away the sword. He also spoke of turning the other cheek, if someone strikes your left cheek then turn and him your right cheek. He is sometimes called the "Prince of Peace" So I would have to say that Cristian's who actually read the bible and not just listen to some priest on Sundays would take Christ at his word

I think he would be politically neutral, or independent.
He did not organize a revolt against Roman rule, which is what the Jews expected a Messiah to do.

He would be IN Iraq, helping people, feeding,comforting and healing people who were suffering. He would be challenging clerics, soldiers and officials, in public, one on one, shaming them all. And he would likely be in danger of dying for it.

He would not take part on political world. He would keep doing His job here and teach us how to love and serve one another. : )

Yes he would support the war, only to free those enslaved over there though.

Jesus was a hippie, I say Libral. I find it ironic that most Christians are very conservative when their icon was a radical for his day.
