Steve - cursing at people doesn't make one a bad thinker. Hell, it doesn't even make you a bad theologian - look at Stanley Hauerwas.

Back in '03, everyone agreed that Saddam must be disarmed, so why didn't Bush simply let Hans Blix's team of weapons inspectors FINISH THEIR GODDAMN JOBS before rushing to invade a country that DID NOT ATTACK US? Are you at all familiar with the concept of 'opportunity cost'? Personally, I can think of at least 2600 reasons why Dubya's 'war of choice' in Iraq was a really sh!tty idea. How many more people have to die in an unnecessary war before you demand that the architects of said war are hung by their testicles? Steve:
