Rosie O'Donnell has been getting flamed because in this Christian nation of ours she had the nerve to compare radical Christianity to radical Islam. I think she has a point.
Radical Christians are the most loyal constituency of Bush. Bush has chased war like a crack addict chases the pipe: with a willingness to spend everything he's got, with lies, with manipulation, with irrational destructive behaviors, with a total lack of concern wrt how his war addiction is impacting other people.
I know Christians who believe, after tens of thousands have died in Iraq, that Bush is a "good man." If you can be a "good man" after you are responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands, how many more will it take before you are not a "good man" anymore? Millions?
There are credible reports that this Administration is contemplating a first nuclear strike in Iran. Bush may get his chance to be the "good" killer of millions. What a grand prospect for our democracy. If you think I exaggerate about the casualties, see this.
The Scarborough show took a turn tongue-lashing Rosie. Watch it. You will see an absolute inability to reckon with the reality that as a result of our actions, tens of thousands of innocent people are dead. To the Christian supporters of Bush I say: Don't look now, but your hands are red with blood. You're not killers exactly - more like killers-lite.
