I am pleased to see the republicans proving i was right, mccain and his merry gang are itching to throw outdue cause and the white house is insisting on it.

just the fact you take the life of your own people as of higher worth and better than those who would die so you will be saved already says it all.

The answer would be that all men have a flesh and that flesh stays intact until they die. The flesh is all that a man is, minus the spirit., The flesh is the body, of course. It is, also, the personality with all it’s quirks, addictions, anger, fear, selfishness, envy, judgement etc. When a person sees a Christian acting badly, they say they never want to be a Christian if THAT guy acts like that. That is really a ludicrous statement because that Christian will always have his flesh to struggle with, just as you will.

She struggles with the flesh, anger, fear, judgment, and is a work in progress. Maybe one day she'll make some progress.

I will have to REPOST my article on Christians and righteous anger

The Hebrew word for righteousness is tseh'-dek, tzedek, (Gesenius's Strong's Concordance:6664)—

righteous, integrity, equity, justice, straightness.

How righteous is a division by hate , blood lust and revenge?

Enemy combatant will not fly.

Tsarnaev, who is still hospitalized, reportedly told the U.S. Government that they had no help from international terrorist groups, with a source indicating that the Tsarnaev brothers fit the classification of self-radicalized jihadists.

I know nothing of how Israel treats prisoners, i was speaking of the fairly constant firepower/drone attacks/ pummelling of palestinians by israeli forces...has it stopped anything?

Such only give the survivors more reason to fight harder.

well from what is seen here daily there are constant attacks by palestinians on soldiers who are not allowed to respond...which seems quite strange since you claim we constantly attack and pummel them...

to be true the image here is not as simple or as one sided as it seems....there is no "israeli reign of terror on the poor arabs"

I remember the day after 9/11 a client (who was married to a national news anchorwoman yet!) saying we should NUKE AFGHANISTAN... because the taliban were afghani we should destroy the whole country. This is an otherwise intelligent, successful, compassionate man...

The real irony is how many (including Christians) do the work of radical Muslims on behalf of Islam while thinking they're opposing it. For example, from time to time refugee Iraqis get attacked in hate crimes around here by people claiming they're "terrorists" when for the most part they're fleeing Islamic repression.
