Not that any Christian hypocrites in the U.S. will remember, but I remember when George H.W. Bush sent his thugs into Kuwait to stop Saddam's thugs from taking over. You know, like Putin has sent his thugs to stop Saakashvili's thugs from taking over South Ossetia. But that's different, right? Of course it is; Bush and Saakashvili are men of God.
I was asked today if Saakashvili was a Christian. Well, of course Mikhail Saakashvili is a Christian. He's a member of the Georgian Orthodox Church. A Christian faith believed by its followers to be correct by comparison to other faiths. In this sense, every Church considers its own faith orthodox. In other words, we're right and all others are wrong. That's the bottom line of all religious sects. They're gangs of street punks who bathe, smile, and start wars in their god's name, but then put the deeds to all the booty in their names.
You will also notice how these Christians in Washington, D.C. have put their interest before that of their Christian ally, Georgia. All Bush has done is run his mouth. They did not even send Bush's big name Christian, Condoleezza Rice, to Georgia; they sent a low ranking Christian. Reason being, the U.S. needs Russia to help control Iran.
As everyone knows, the two BP oil and gas pipelines running from its Caspian Sea fields through Georgia are what all the nice people in the U.S. and U.K. are concerned about. But then we don't have to tell the people of Georgia that now, do we?
Whatever Russia may or may not do in Georgia, shouldn't be critiqued by those involved in the Iraq War. But that little matter will not be an obstacle for a hypocrite.

The world would be a far, far better and safer place without religion in it.
