And the only way to get him out of there is...

Keep putting the truth in people's faces until enough of us demand change.

I don't know what else I can do.

The problem is more fundamental than George W. Bush. He's just the figurehead and puppet-gone-mad.

Why does it have to get to Holocaust proportions before anyone will recognize what's happening? How many Iraqis have to die before it becomes another Holocaust? Between the war and years of sanctions, we have estimates as high as 1.3 million, the majority of them Iraqi children.

On the one hand, I'm supposed to buy into the guilt trip they lay in infomercials about third world children in Christian countries, how I should care about these otherwise unknown children and send in my fifty-nine cents per day or what have you to save a child's life (and believe it or not, once upon a time, I was doing this!), while on the other hand, the same collective group couldn't care less about the children in the non-Christian countries.

Hypocrisy? What would Jesus think?

Matthew Chapter 5

43Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

44But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

46For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the publicans the same?

47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? Do not even the publicans so?

I don't get it. Are these words too vague and non-specific for Christians to understand? Do they ignore this brilliant bit of wisdom because there aren't any "publicans" around any more? [But there are! See IRS.] And, of course, the irony of being "Re-PUBLICANS" totally escapes them, I know. "Publicans again". nyuk nyuk nyuk

We could have Heaven on Earth, and yet they sit around and wait for Jesus to return, slay the rest of us, and hand the Earth over to them with Him as their King. In the meantime, Earth is Hell for far too large a portion of the population, and they don't merely do nothing about it, they actively contribute to its being that way.

And Jesus is going to reward them for it?!? ARGH!
