I didn't get the memo that the war in Iraq was supposed to be about killing Muslims in the name of Christianity (God). I need to look through my desk papers...
Probably won't be in your desk papers unless you are part of the administration.

Sorry, didn't mean this literally but most hard core christians only have an on/off switch I guess. It's more the idea that the religous right will pursue their agenda of spreading their faith and now their democracy which are tightly intertwined at whatever cost. Bush and the rest used the convenient excuse of 9/11 and Saddams's alleged support of terrorism, WMD and "freeing" the Iraqi people to justify this war. The civilian body count is now well over 80,000. Why again are we there if it's not to spread our form of government and therefore in Bush's pee brain somehow our approved state form of religion? I realize there is no clear cut answer here but given America's general sense of self rightousness and feeling of superiority it's as good a theory as any.
