To gain Supremacy ...controll and wealth.
There are many names who tried to do so..
Hitler was one of them and now Bush is doing it.

First that bible verse is saying that Christianity will divide nations and families. The sword is always represented in the bible as truth. That verse is not a proclamation to go out and start wars.
With that said, I don't know why the USA keeps meddling in the middle east. I don't see how we have any business over there.
We started messing around there a long time ago and it has been nothing but trouble that we have caused. I know our history and I know the meddling that has occurred.
The unfortunate thing is that not only is the local populace in Iraq and Afghanistan suffering but so are our troops.
In Iraq - I'm not even sure why we went there to begin with. We had dubious intelligence. I think since the 9/11 terrorist attack made our leadership a little trigger happy.
While I understand the need to rid the world of terrorism we must do so intelligently.
Do not misunderstand me however. I am angry about the terrorist extremism that has been going on. That must stop. I do know why it has happened started though.
Something has got to give... This drawn out war with Iraq has put a huge strain on everyone. Afghanistan has not been a big success. We keep having a propaganda war with Iran.
Just remember one thing - not all Christians are on a crusade to war with anyone. That's just some people who say they are Christian but is not doing a good job of living up the principles set forth by Jesus.
Let's not forget the mess with Israel, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, and Iran's meddling there.
Pakistan is problematic.
Anyhow, lastly let me say - the terrorists claim to be Muslims. So they defame you all just as much as ou leadership defames Christianity.

I call it Clash of Idealogy!
Poor Christians hv no say against the power of Real Rullers of America - 25 Families mostly Zionist Jew and Capitalists- who own major Oil business and Weapon Factories in America. They are minting money!
Capitalism and a non-religious state is the dire need of Zionist Jews hence America is the paradise on earth!
Religion is discourged and Atheism is being promoted to implement their hidden agenda!
Bush is implementing hidden agends of Capitalism under the shadow of Terrorism!!
9/11 Drama is loosing its worth due to the various unreplied question on technical grounds! Soon this drama will be exposed and the world will shought " It was in-house job"?
Alqaida is being made a symbol of terror by bush and it is being used as and when required basis.?
The so called terrorism is still undefined by UN???
Why bush is not approaching UN to get a certificate against Muslims????
This undefined Terrorism is the second wave of clash of idealogy " Capitalism v Islam " within 2 decades.
Ist was the Communism v Islam started by Russian Army in 1997 in Afghanistan to have an eccess on Arabian Sea and Liquid Gold (Oil). Muslims were able to defend their promised land.
The fate of this clash is well known to the world as "The destruction of Russia with Communism" !!!
The on-going second clash is at its peack now and no one knows how long it would take but Muslims will surely be successful " Falsehood is perish bound" and America shall pay the price similarly!
Peace & Blessings

Why is Osama Bin Laden with his joyful Islamic peace organization Al Qauida killing so many Muslims? I think they, and other sectarian muslim organizations, are killing more muslims than the US.
Don't think I'm pro-USA in the Iraq and war-on-terrorism problems, but if Al-qauida hadn't been there, things would be very different for sure, no matter if the US eventually had invaded Iraq. Al-Qauida has provoked the US (Bush was more than eager to respond), but Bush would have had one less excuse if Al-Qauida wouldn't have attacked the US. And then Al-Qauida started to make a mess of Iraq, it's them that fired up the sectarian violence. I'm not saying the US had their business organized enough to bring the mission to a peaceful end, but if there is one organization that has made things dramatic over there, it's Al Qauida: Muslims themselves.

Why did muslims kill innocent Americans on 9/11? Why are muslims killing muslims? We are not there to kill muslims we are there to stop the killing. Why don't the muslims see that if they stop killing each other for even just a little while we will leave. But that's not what the extremist muslims want is it?

Christianity is not connected with the running of the government of the United States of America by President George Bush.
Islam terrorist are being hunted and to be killed if they fight back but not all muslims are being hunted. Some muslim are good some are not, they are terrorist to other countries. You should understand this situation.

Bush did say this was a Crusade, and it was going to take awhile! So the fact is, at least in Bush's mind, that he is waging a holy war. Though his crusade against the Muslims will only work to weaken Bush and his allies. Allah (God) has promised the Muslims that for every one Muslim that dies in combat one hundred or one thousand of those who attack Islam will perish. Therefor those who fight the Muslims and strive for injustice on the Earth will loose in the end. Though as Allah (God) said, both sides attain victories and losses to test those who believe with true faith from those who would lose faith. There is to be no aggression except against the aggressors/oppressors. Allah (God) knows best!

Why is it okay for Osama bin Laden to send people to the United States to kill thousands of innocents, but not for George Bush to retaliate and send hordes of americans over to kill Muslim extremists?
I agree, the US shouldn't be in Iraq. I just want to know why the double standard.

You quote a christian verse but you obviously dont know the meaning. And read the full chapter you got that verse from next time. And what of the christians being killed by muslims because they believe Jesus christ is God? Not a very peaceful religion is it

It has nothing to do with religion. It has everything to do with what is politically convenient for Dubya and his cronies. Besides, Chimpy is only a Christian in name; it was just a ploy to legitimize his unethical activities and gain votes from the religious right. He's not really a Christian at all.
