I have been reading that God told Herman Cain, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum and Michelle Bachmann that they should run for President.
I remember that George Bush said the same thing (except I think he said he was 'chosen' by God). Next thing you know... we were attacking Iraq for having WMDs - like we don't have those. It's not like they were in fear of being attacked.
We send billions of dollars and billions in weapons to Israel and are accomplices to the oppression of the Palestinian people. We aggravate and start wars in the middle east in the name of that relationship. We have killed (directly and indirectly) hundreds of thousands of Arabic people in many Arab nations. OF COURSE they hate us. We oppress them through violence and sanctions until they bend to our will. Are the reasons based on logic and a very real threat? Or are we practicing this oppression for religious reasons?
I am not confident that Barack Obama won't start a war with Iran - he has certainly played his role as Commander-in-Chief with an iron fist... but I am confident that if we elect any of the above-mentioned Republicans as President... we will have a war with Iran.
How can someone claim to hold the high ground on "Christian Values" on one hand and threaten war with the other?
How many more Arab/Muslim people do we have to kill before they stop hating us?
