Have his ears gotten bigger?

he's a little bit of a hypocrite.

Bill Clinton, when he was president said there was clear evidence that Saddam Hussein had WMDs. He gave a speech that Saddam has to be taken out by force if he does not comply with the UN inspectors. Now Bill Clinton is saying that he was opposed to the War in Iraq from the start.

Is Government and military the right hand of the Roman Catholic Church like back in the day when Jesus was killed by government?

[DescryCodes]

But doesn't it say in the same book, Thy shall not kill, they shall not lie, thy shall not have other false gods before me...

How could it be ok to kill for any cause? Isn't that seeking control of something? It just doesn't seem right. As though all wars are about someone threatening you or forcing you to do something for whatever reason. I mean why not just live by the heart and by caring for others? I dont know.. this is all too confusing. It why I got away from pushy religeons.

So, is what people here are insinuating is that if you're not a declared catholic, then you're a pretestant, or one who protests it? Which means death and which is why Jesus was killed because he was against the Roman Catholic church and they killed him for that? Because Jesus said, "call no man Father, but your Father in heaven."

This is starting to come together. It was the high priests who demanded government kill Jesus. And Puntuous Piolot marked him as King of the Jews. Hmm

"All who gain power afraid to lose it AND wants more power! Because man is acquisitive." Checks and balances and the electoral college (arguable) solve that. Explain how the war is illegal and immoral without sounding belligerent or ignorant, and without quoting an emotional rant from your parents or forum that made you opposed to the war; if its too much please spell correctly also, thank you.

5,000 of our troops dead, 1.4 million innocent Iraqis dead, (not to mention the wounded), spent 1 trillion on this illegal and immoral war, torture, eavesdropping, Arar v. Ashcroft, Bush v. Gore, the TRASHING of the Constitution, 9 Supreme Court Justices fired, Libby, Gonzales, etc. Other than that, he's been a pretty good President! Fuck-n-a man, I am counting the seconds till 1/20/09. We will finally have a President that can put a complete sentence together! Praise Jesus!
