Backlash and Blowback

THE TIMES ARE DIFFERENT

I am writing this in response to Clay Cooper's post "thanking" President Obama.

I understand that this is a very touchy subject, the new President's ways and the war on terrists, but what we all seem to forget is that there are things happening everyday, all over the world, that change the course of an action taken the day before.
The rules have changed alot since WW1 and WW2. Advancements in warfare alone is enough to scare the most stone hearted man. Face-to-face combat and ground warfare, are a thing of the past, and I think that Obama knows that.

Could you imagine one day in his shoes? Just knowong that from the minute you wake up until the minute you go to bed, that every decision you make and every action you take, there is another man planning a way around them.
As to the comment made about the soldiers in Ark., there are many reasons, I believe, that would make the President want to take his time releasing the info. to anybody, let alone the public.
Could you imagine the mass panic that another "terrorist" attack has took place in the US. People would go crazy with fear, and who knows, after 9/11, not too many people ware going to sit around and wait for answers.

There are forces at work everyday that are way beyond our erational or rational "opinions", that we will never know. Call it what you want, but to use something like the "Bible" to fall back on to make sense of non-sense, is just plain wrong.
Im not trying to get under anyones skin with what I am about to say, but I think it needs to be said:
"The Bible is NO WAY a good book to use as a reference for violence or non-violence"!!
Dont get me wrong, its the HOLY BIBLE, but in one section of the book it tells you "......the blood of a man can never be spilled by the hands of another man......"
but then it turns around and says ".......if the blood of a man is spilled by the hands of another man, he too shall have blood spilt....."! Makes no sense. "Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.....but killing, robbing etc is sinful and wrong.......You tell me where the right is?

This war with terrists will always be here. Religion is too powerful of a source to be stopped with guns and blood shed. People will always fight if there believs are different....So I say lets not point the finger at Obama or the Bible or even Koran....lets try to point that finger at the real culprit......RELIGION AND THE ONES WHO USE IT FOR POWER
