Oh! I didn't know it was an entry. I'm sorry, I thought it was a published article from somewhere. I hate it when people debate my beliefs in my own journal.
I really did like your passive/active point. Yes, I really think that DOING something about the problem is far better than discussing it, although I really disagree with HOW the problem was dealt with, but I can agree that even war is better than letting the problem drag on and on, if we're already this involved.
But I AM sad that so many people had to die, and I'm worried about what is going to happen next. How can we know whoever takes power next will be good to the Iraqi people?
And I'm a religion major, so I am really sensitive about the idea that God is in favor of killing, for whatever reason. I believe that God gave us lots of options.
I agree that something had to be done, and it's good that something was done. I just really think there were better forms of action, you know? I think God gave us less destructive options.
I'm really sorry I attacked you without knowing that this was a personal opinion, not an article. I never would have insulted your beliefs like that had I known they weren't published and open for criticism.
