why fight?

click title to go to my website; a two issue endeavor now. i appreciate readership. i now choose to convet love to all humans. the absolute necessity of the Iraq military action seems to diminish daily. the lessening of terror and suicide tactics won't happen this way. unless we plan on killing everyone, a paradigm of communication has to be established. i believe it is necessary now to identify the power structure among those called, "the insurgency". we are ocxcupying the second most significant sites to Islam that exist. It is foolhardy to assume this can be overlooked. I have no particular critism of the Bush White House. While others maintain the administration participated in gainsaying or embellishing intelligence, I admit I have no such knowledge. Deductive logic indicates to me that unstated purposes were followed by our attack of the anemiac Iraqi forces, over two years ago. Creating a footprint in the region has to be considered as the most plausible. Female circumscision; if openly discussed; would make most Americans willing to topple a power streucture that condones this mutilation of innocent baby girls. It is not PC to approach the truth. Most people consider the practice of an "enlightened" form of religion to be a positive thing; even if the observer is agnostic or atheist, based on the scientific method. All "fundamentalist" religion has to do with the status of scripture within the subset of particular faiths. When the scripture is held out to be superior to scientific observation, and claims are made to its inerrancy; we are faced with a problematic coningency, no matter whose faith we are concerned with. Though I have been raised Baptist; it has been presented to me how some members of Islam have a beautiful and realistic apprehension of Deity. And while I do not water down my Christian belief; I no longer hold the opinion that people who do not share a common belief are doomed to Hell. Partly this is based on St. Paul's oration in the Book of Acts that some righteous people form a "law unto themself", it is common sense. The need for war in the present economic environment is telltale. One would be hard pressed to find anyone from my age group (45) who, just too young for VietNam; has not heard how "money flowed like water" during the nation's participation in that war; which was characterized as illegal and a war of aggression, by people who had the education and status to make such a claim with accuracy. Our invasion of Iraq, is worth a great deal of money to some people, an elect few. The upholding of American values cannot be supposed to bring us to unilateral military action. There is a sideshow to this action that is more illustrative of purpose than any spoken by the administration or its cohorts. Loose accusations do not befit us; a rational equation would be helpful.
