And does God welcome the souls of those soldiers into his kingdom of Heaven? I am asking because God said "you shall not kill".

I would ask God to bring back all those killed (Americans as well as others) before punishing any body responsible. If he cannot then I make him responsible for all the wrongs,and not Bush because we always say that the God is Almighty.

First off the real commandment is You Shall Not Murder. Fine line, big difference.
Only God knows Bush's heart. Same goes for the soldiers. If (and that's a big IF because I'd never be so presumptious as to say I know anyone inside) he did it only for oil as some say or any other selfish reason then he'll be held accountable. If the soldiers who died in Iraq went there believing in their heart they were doing good for others their sacifice will save them because love covers a multitude of sins & no man loves another more than to lay down their lives. But if they went there solely for the mentality of legally murdering others or some other equally wrong reason they won't.
But God alone knows the condition of a man's heart. So only He can answer that question fully.
The Japanese attacked us in WW II yet we also attacked Germany. Germany never attacked us. Were we wrong? History can tell us who was right and who was wrong no matter how many blunders of today. God alone knows what is right & wrong this instant. Who'll make it & who won't.

It is true that 3000 American military deaths is a very sad and frustrating milestone. The commentator I Hate Liberals remarks that the current war in Iraq has had the lowest number of casualties than any other war in American history. This individual is correct; however, this current war in Iraq continues and I am sadly confident that this number will go up. However, this is not the primary issue. One military death is too many; moreover, comparing the current war in Iraq to other military conflicts (including to some degree the Vietnam War) is like comparing apples and oranges. The current Iraq war is distinct in that it is preemptive and was based on wholly erroneous, if not completely fabricated intelligence. It is also worth noting that WWI and WWII, for example, resulted in lines of individuals wishing to join the conflict. Americans were behind these two conflicts completely and America solidified its place as dominant and influential superpower. I fear that the current Iraq war is diminishing USA credibility, prestige, and influence. Examining the question of why do they hate us is a valid examination. One has to wonder why all of our propaganda building up the reputation of the United States as an affirmative, democratic republic to be hailed is not working and why the low-budget propaganda of terrorists seems to convince in a short period of time millions of individuals toward the destruction of everything American. I am a proud moderate conservative (Republican) and I believe democracy is the single best government philosophy in the world. It angers me that the Bush Administration has in just six years of governing all but ruined what has taken nearly 200 years for us as people and nation to build!!! By the way, I Hate Liberals, I will never get the f**k over the deaths of 3000 remarkably brave and unbearably challenged men and women in uniform! We must never forget these lives, for the moment that we forget will be the moment that they died in utter vain and futility. Indeed, I find your causal disregard for this issue disgusting and treacherous! I have two cousins and a best friend proudly fighting for their lives as well as the lives of their comrades and innocent Iraqi civilians. In this day and age, with the technological advances that our military touts, it makes no sense that this war has been managed in such a stupid and incompetent manner. Of course, the men and women on the ground cannot help but to do the best that they can in light of such incompetence. Bush and his civilian advisors have no concept of Middle Eastern history and sociotheopolitical traditions. If they did, then we would not be in the complete mess that we are in right now--fighting a civil war, incurring ridiculous military deaths, increasing terrorism and hatred of the United States, diminishing American credibility and prestige, allowing time for Iran and North Korea to build nuclear arsenals, encouraging the development of other dictatorships, and coming ever so close to the collapsing our beautiful democratic republic that has served as a model for freedom, self-determination, and sovereignty for nearly 200 years! This war must end now.

You can remember only 4000 American soldiers.
How about 100,000 humans including women and children died from the bombings by US AirFroce that he has managed to kill both in Iraq and Afghanistan?
I supposed those deaths are OK for you because they are Muslims not human beings in your understanding.

I'm against this war because it's based on crap, but if your going to use religion as a defense you have to consider the number of times in the old testatament God not only sends His army to kill he also commands them to " kill all the men, women and children" and where he doesn't there certainly isn't any punishment for such horrific deeds, they army gets rewarded with more victories!
it's either this or we accept that Bush is a certifiable NUT..

Technically, God said that you should not murder.
Killing in a war does not violate the ten commandments. Hence the reason that devout Italian Catholics make up the Mafia as a familial organization.
Will Bush be punished? No. Not by man, not by God. I personally don't even believe in God, and he has far too many supporters amongst the Fundy population.

I'm sure Mr. Bush has a lot of trouble sleeping. And as for God, do not forget the in the Old Testament He was responsible for sending the israelites on killing 'sprees' every now and then.

He may commend Bush for the many thousands of Americans who would have been killed in more bombings in America if he hadn't taken the war to them .
I don't know of anybody that Bush ever killed . When did god ever say anything about killing ? All words in any "holy" book are the words of some person . Don't blame or credit any non-existant imaginary "gods" .

Why just the American soldiers, what about all of the others killed in Iraq?

According to George, God TOLD him to invade Iraq.....so "clearly"...it is all part of the deity's mysterious plan.
And what about the tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians who have died as a result of the invasion and occupation?
