Do you think the fact that Bush and Blair were Christian, made it more likely that they went to war in Iraq?

Answer 1

I doubt their being Christian had anything to do with it. bush was blood thirsty and Blair wanted to support him.


That's how it seems to me.

Answer 2

Maybe...I mean they probably don't know much about the Islamic religion. Bush was like "these extremists have made Islam, which is a great religion, look bad. Most Muslims want peace, freedom and democracy"....but he was probably saying that just to get Muslims in America (there are 1.5 million Muslims over there) to vote for him. I don't think he really understands Islam and knows little about it. However, Blair was too afraid to go and visit the Muslim community in Britain so he also probably knows very little about it as well. Blair just trusted and copied Bush and I don't think he really knew what he was doing. Bush on the other hand probably wants oil so overall, I don't think religion really plays a role in this. I wish people would stop mixing up religion with politics. Suicide bombers are fighting a political battle, not a religious one and they only use pieces of the Islam religion to justify their hateful actions, even though those actions violates the laws of Islam. In the Quran it specifically says 'If you take one life you have taken the lives of everyone'. Go read it.

Answer 3

Without a doubt. The Iraq War is about a.) Oil money, and b.) Religious ideology. Every other "justification" that's been trotted out is either spin or outright lie. If the Iraqis were Christian and if they didn't have something we want, Saddam Hussein would right now be smoking a cigar in one of his presidential palaces.

Answer 4

I don't think that it was their religion that made them go to war. It was misinformation on Bush's part. He was so sure Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and because of Sept.11 he wanted to get them and Saddam out of Iraq. Of course there weren't any and now they have another Vietnam War on their hands that they aren't going to win. As for Tony Blair I think he wanted to look big in the World's eyes so he sided with Bush.

Answer 5

The fact that they were Christians had absolutely nothing to do with them going to war in Iraq. The fact that both the UK and the US are Christian nations has everything to do with the Muslim terrorists attacking our countries.

Answer 6

No.

If in fact Bush and Blair were Christians, they would have sought diplomatic resolve. Since the Christian belief does not condone murder and Christ teaches Christians to love their enemy, the fact is, Blair and Bush are not Christians.

Answer 7

That and the fact it was ruled by a sadistic dictator with known ties to terrorism.

The War in Iraq (fighting against the Iraqi military) has been over for many years, and was a good decision, however, the occupation of Iraq (which is ongoing) was a bad decision.

Answer 8

I don't think we'll ever know the answer about the invasion of Iraq. It's going to be like Area 51 and aliens. A conspiracy theory.

Answer 9

I cannot believe you people STILL think Bush is a Christian. He worships Moloch. He worships the Queen of Heaven. He practices abhorrent rituals.

As for the war aspect, the more gruesome the death, the higher the number of deaths, the more negative energy these vampires feed on. Wake up!

Answer 10

Christians are the worst people to put into power. They get this idea that god is talking to them and telling them to do things and in reality they are just hearing whatever they want to hear in there head.

I mean look at the condition we are in with a Christian in office. We really need an atheist in office. An Atheist doesnt hear these so called voices and an Atheist will use logic and common sense in decision making. I mean anyone with common sense would of realized Iraq was a mistake and it certainly is not going to get any better.
