"I thought God was kinda clear on the whole killing thing. Seems he didn't think much of it, nor his son either."

Think again. Have you ever read the Bible? In the OT, God led Israel through many horrible and bloody battle victories.

Yes, Jesus did ask that we love our enemies and 'turn the other cheek'. But in Ecclesiaties (sp??) it is clear that "there is a time for everything... a time for war...".

I'm not sure if God speaks to Bush or the Pope. I'm not Catholic, so I have my issues with the Catholic church and the idea of the pope. And I don't personally know Bush or have an intimate knowledge of his spiritual life. All I can do as a Christian is keep an eye on current events, study the Bible, and pray for guidance in a time of confusion, emotion, and dirty politics.
