Ahh, I have it now. Christianity as practiced by conservative white
males in the United States is driven by logic, and not the emotional.

No, no, you are drawing some short-circuited conclusion.
First off, (and you NEED to get this straight, otherwise
we don't even have a debate) is that we're NOT talking
about Conservative vs. Liberal - don't do this. That tends
to be a Liberal trait: make it a Conservative vs. Liberal
fight no matter WHAT the conversation is about. You
need to learn to turn "off" your Anti American switch
when engaged in an "INTERnational" type conversations.
(We are talking about Muslims - that is neither a Liberal
thing, nor a white Conservative thing) - had this been
a thread about "domestic" subject, yeah, all fair game.
BUT, we happen to be discussing the Muslim/West
thing, and discussing ways to make it better by trying
to properly identify the problem, and its reasons, and
ways to make that better. (You game for such
NON 'Liberal vs. Conservative' conversation ?)

Now, on point... Our rationale for the Iraq
war(s) were logic based. The UN resolution
687 that enabled the seise-fire of the first Gulf
war was never satisified - that is why Saddam
is in the can. It was technically not about finding
WMD's, it was about *THEM* accounting for
all of the WMD's that *they* themselves documented
as having. They accounted for some, yeah, but not
for the ballance, so we went in and assumed that
they were still there. Doesn't matter if they "are",
"were", or in Tim Buck Too - they *still* had to
account for them, or face the full force of the USA
(for which they did - 'ya see that "Shock-n-awe"?)

We are not fighting wars based on Religion, however
M.I. does. The predominant religions here in the US
are largly emotions based, (coupled with a fair amount
of history, accounts, and possibly facts, and experiences).
yeah, and sometimes religions come about to agument
ones logic mechanisms, but none of this is supportive
of the discussion as hand, is it?
