Question WWJD

To the WWJD croud out there:
Since a majority of american christians support a preemptive strike on Iraq that seems impossible to do without killing at least tenthousands of civilians I have one question:
Would you call Jesus a preemptive strike kind of guy?
Or did I overread the section in the Bible where it says you have to follow his example only when it is convenient?

I don't know how many christians you expected to find here. But worldnutdaily has made a preemptive strike to answer your question.

Hi Sheep,
from a personal standpoint, I am against the murder of innocent people, I myself am against the strike and I know that I am in the minority on this issue...I understand the reasons behind it, I understand the desire to avenge our country. I do acknowledge that the people who did this, the people who planned it and helped execute this should be held accountable for their actions and I would hope that justice would prevail, but not at the hands of innocent people. I do not think Jesus would approve, he would not be "a preemptive strike kind of guy".

Thanks for the worldnut-link. Guess it wouldn't have become endorsed by the romans and a world religion if you couldn't interpret any way you liked it.

But I noticed something else while checking out the link. Ever notice that one attribute seems to be very popular among lunatics (Saddam, Hitler, Stalin, Farah ..)? (Hint: check on the upper lip!)
