If so, how does scripture support going to war in Iraq to prevent them from coming over here and attacking us? Can you share from Scriptures if you support the war in Iraq, how this can be blessed by God?
God came to give us perfect peace. So, isn't it better to trust in God, rather than invading another country? We've done far worse to Iraq than they probably ever could do to us. And I can't believe that God honors our invasion. If you disagree, would you share your reasoning from scriptures, please?

Sure. You see, there is a time referred to as the Second Coming. And tht is when Jesus returns to rule on the Earth for a thousand years. We call that the Millenium. And with everyone's expectation of Jesus being the way they think he has to be, we have this happening:
Zechariah 14
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
God has sided with Israel. And it's not popular to believe that, yet there it is. So whatever everyone has complaints about Israel, whether justified or not ( because it is well known that the leaders of it have done some wrong) God sides with Israel nonetheless.
So Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Russia, and anyone else coming to Jerusalem to make war against them is going to have Zechariah 14:12 happen to them. Will those people understand this? No. Because here we have it prophecied. it will happen.
So whatever we are doing in Iraq is fine. I think that we are setting a minor detail in the stage iof history where all these things will culminate.
Besides all that, the idiot insurgents ae coming to our troops in a foreign country to die. Better there in Iraq than here in the US!
They are just too stupid to lay off and let us leave in peace with nothing else to fight about. If they let things happen in Iraq, we would eventuall leave! But they are just to stupid, thanks to Iran, to leave it alone. So while we are killing insurgents, there are less people to worry about coming here.
It's so simple.

Christian Fundamentalist is a complete contradiction in terms! CHRISTIAN – A follower or believer in Jesus. FUNDAMENTALIST One who believes the Bible is literally true and must be followed exactly. Therefore they are followers of the bible and not Jesus making them non Christians! But worse is to follow it also makes them ideologists. IDEOLOGY An idea that is false or held for the wrong reasons but is believed with such conviction as to be irrefutable. So Christians have a loving and forgiving god and fundamentalist - well - Just are not Christians! Lord Carey the former Archbishop of Canterbury put it rather well – “Creationism is the fruit of a fundamentalist approach to scripture, ignoring scholarship and critical learning, and confusing different understandings of truth”! The Pope, Catholic Church, Church of England and mainstream churches all accept the big bang and evolution! Nice that Christians and atheists can agree and laugh together even if it is at fundie expense! But behind the laughter is the despair at the fundamentalists striving so hard to destroy Christianity by turning it from a religion to an ideology! Surveys suggest that 29% of American Christians are so extremist in their beliefs that they fall well outside of the accepted bounds of Christianity!

No I don't think any war honors Christ. Only the war within against the chains of sin.

Since when has Iraq ever posed a threat to the US?

No acts of war are christ loving at all .As an occultist I see the human race as still in a primitive stage in its evolution when it has to resort to violence to get things done.,a very sad story indeed.

No way!
Regardless of the so called justification, no person or country should be attacked.
