Anyone see the newscast when one of the victim's friend's said: "A lot of people think it is honorable to die fighting for your country, I think it is more honorable dieing for peace."
What a fool!

ehh, a soldier dying fighting for his country IS fighting for peace, I hope.
The big difference is the terms of the peace. That's what makes a soldier's death honorable, and this guys death pointless. |

I'll add to the other posts...that there are also other ways these damn peace activists can spread their gospel...rather than going to the heart of the struggle where a major percent of the population want to cut you freaking head off.
Many people deep down just wanna die. Dumbass. |

First the chick gets run over by the tractor now, this dude gets tortured and killed.
Dont they realize the arabs really dont give a shit about them and their ideas? They dont realize they hate and will kill anyone not arab. The libtards have no idea what they are facing. These arabs are not the kumbaya type of people that like to play the guitar and hang around the camp fire. But their arrogance makes these peaceniks think everyone should emulate them and follow their ideas. Ridiculous, they need to get their heads out of their asses and take in some oxygen. |

+1 Problem is most people are unwilling to accept the fact that the human heart is evil from day one and you can see that on display every day around the world. Given a belief system that rewards killing those that don't belive what you do is it any wonder that the results are destructive to those around them. The dead guy, while he may have called himself a Christian he seemed to have forgotten that and put himself in harms way.

Bullsh*t. Memorials will be erected to him on college campuses across the land. There will be candle-light vigils, rallies, and constant editorials in the newspaper like this: "I got a sickening feeling reading the Associated Press story, "Flying Gunships’ Return to Iraq" (March 3), about side-firing AC-130 transport planes "armed to perform sustained and precision attack missions." These bombers will do their deadly work mostly at night ("slower speeds make them more vulnerable in the daytime"), can slowly circle over a target for long periods, and "bristle with a potent arsenal," including 40mm cannon that fire 120 rounds per minute (that’s two per second), and a 105mm howitzer, normally a field artillery weapon. All of this may sound unintelligible to most of us, but is sure to create nights of sheer terror for the targets of these death machines. For in today’s Iraq, few of these "precision attacks" will avoid killing and crippling innocent children and other noncombatants. I pray for the day that all people of compassion and faith — especially followers of the Prince of Peace — will recognize that this kind of massive destruction is just plain indefensible and wrong, whether done by suicide bombers on the ground or homicide bombers in the air. Harvey Yoder" |

Was this guy a Quaker?
I think he was. Quakers have a very long history of peace. Yeah, I think he was misguided, but his religion has been all about peace for a lot longer than the term liberal has been around. I feel sorry for his family. Maybe his death will discourage other Quakers from dying over there. Hopefully they will realize the true nature of the situation and try to effect a peaceful outcome in another way. |

Mennonite.
Mennonites are also largely pacifists. I can't tell you how many times in school I had kids come up to me (because they knew my family had some preachers in it) and ask me if it really was wrong for them to join the military or become policemen, because their mennonite teachers and preachers told them that participating in any form of violence was a mortal sin against God. I pointed them to Romans 13: "1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 4 For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil."
The only peaceful outcome that can be reached with people who believe murder is a central tennet of their religion is by stopping them. And I don't mean stopping them with kind words. I mean stopping them with the point of a bayonet. There was a reason why Jesus told His disciples to take a sword with them in Luke 22, and why Paul said that authorities don't bear the sword in vain in Romans 13. |

Regardless, he was an asshole working against his country. I would say most Quakers are honorable. Many have served as medics or litter bearers, and refused to carry arms. But at least they SERVED their country, not like this POS.... |

The news article I read said he was a Quaker. None the less, I think his religion drove him more than anything else.
I disagreed with him just like I did with those that subverted efforts in the Vietnam war. However, I suspect or at least I hope that his motives were more due to his religion than far left wing liberalism. I don't believe his group will ever understand the kind of people we are fighting over there. |

He went to Eastern Mennonite University, and ordinarily everyone who goes there is Mennonite.
With most of his breed, their politics drives their religion. Not the other way around. I live near EMU. Jesus has very little to do with what goes on at that campus. |
