Almost everyone gets uncomfortable in contemplation of murder. The stridency one hears from Bush supporters, and the use of extreme rhetorical evasions and hammering of ad hominem arguments against their despised "liberals" (meaning fellow Americans less inclined to violent solutions) is that they suspect they might somehow be particpants in large scale murder, and the notion of being responsible for the death of innocent children, mothers, and unarmed civilians in pursuit of what is actually only a political objective (no matter how well justified) is enough to make anyone queasy. Of course you aren;t allowed to say you feel queasy about possibly being associated with one or more murders if you belong to the cultural group. So you get strident instead. Me, I get downright heartsick in contemplation of murder, and I do not mind saying so. Supporting Hussein was also supporting large scale murder even when the government was doing it... supporting Bush is supporting a different set of large scale murders.   They are both as loathesome as they can be, IMNSHO. Christian murders and Muslim murders are equally ugly and equally insane.
USing religion as a justification is as bad as using politics or economics as justification. Let us face the issue squarely. Murder is afoot on both sides of the line. Let us call it for what it is. And if you choose to be lead by murderers, I hope you can find peace somewhere.
