The thing that really gives me the shi ts is G. Bush going to waste 40 billion on revenge when he doesn't even know who it is.
Doesn't the Bible say, "Do not return a wrong with a wrong, instead let God's anger take revenge for you" (not a direct quote).
I hope this does not offend too many, as many in this forum is prabably american
Xiaosam,
I, has many Americans, disagree with many of the actions of government. But I agree on some.
1. We do not think we are better. We haven't had a war on our land since 1776, so we are afraid and also, if we do not retaliate for the strikes on the Pentagon and WTC, we will show the world that they can wage war and get away with it.
2. Yes, the Bible does say that, but it also say to dend yourself. (I.E., David and Goliath, for one.)
3. GW Bush know it is Bin Laden, and the Taliban says it could be Osama but will not help us.
While I value peoples opinion, I think that a person needs to know all the facts before they comment on a sensitive issue such as this.
Take Care,
