Lets see if I can get this picture straight: We hand over our tax dollars and military hardware to a state which kills innocent civilians on a regular basis. Then, when they kill innocent people we say 'show restraint'. We hand them more money, they kill more people, and we say 'show restraint'. Then we hand them more money...

This goes on for FORTY YEARS!!!

Now we wonder why there are nations and religions that hate us so bad to be dancing in the streets when this happens? I wont go quite so far as to say we had it coming, but I'm amazed at the suprize. The signs have been in place for years, and youre right, this is only the beginning.

How about if we re-think a national policy that encourages this behavior in the first place?

Sorry for the rant. I'm more than a little upset, and dont know how to come to terms with it. If you think God is telling you to kill, youre mistaken. Thats Satan talking.
