Bush: 'God told me to end the tyranny in Iraq'
There's not much I can really say about this piece, you need to read it yourself.One of the delegates, Nabil Shaath, who was Palestinian foreign minister at the time, said: "President Bush said to all of us: 'I am driven with a mission from God'. God would tell me, 'George go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan'. And I did. And then God would tell me 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq'. And I did."- the Guardian
It's not the first time God has been invoked in the reasoning for war, the crusades, the inquistion, and we see how well those turned out. I think they all might have missed a few passages of the bible, like:
Psalm 34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
Romans 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Romans 15:33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
Mark 9:50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Proverbs 16:7 When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
1 Peter 3:11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
2 Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
James 3:18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
-King James Bible
