Is the old Hebrew OK or should we read some other version?<br /><br />You're obviously a person of some fervour, so I'm interested to hear your rationale in favour of the King James bible over any other, considering it's just one of the latest of many revisions.Jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-28508791274699800852012-10-31T21:54:35.395-05:002012-10-31T21:54:35.395-05:00Barnabas you do not know the language of "The...Barnabas you do not know the language of "The Powers That Be"... when "They" say "Peace" they actually mean destruction... they tell you its not, what in fact is.... i feel nothing but anguish of what i know is still to come...... and "They" are ruthless in whatever they do and are starting with what was once the Great country of america bt has since now mutated into the Us business state. ....... Honesty no one wants to hear it... BUT you MUST hear and talk about the Paradigm yet reality that is our plane of existence hence The Truth! At the end of the day you can believe whatever you damn well want bt The Truth is The Truth and The Truth stands alone and there will be consequences to pay for the ignorance of man..

National sovereignty of Pakistan being one of them (but we'll just keep bribing that government. No problem).<br /><br />Civilian casualties sadly happen, and with drone strikes, it is very difficult to know if the target was really a militant or a civilian. And as much as Bush is known for being a war-monger while Obama is a Nobel Peace Prize winner, Obama has sent many more drone strikes against Pakistan - more than 300 in his first term.<br /><br />http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/map_of_the_week/2012/06/obama_drone_strikes_the_president_ordered_more_than_george_w_bush.html<br /><br />The largest problem with these attacks is that they create blowback. Killing militants and civilians, whether through drone strike or not, doesn't cause the rest of the world to love America more.Barnabasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-79865740526098531332012-10-30T23:51:41.596-05:002012-10-30T23:51:41.596-05:00Yes, the morals of this are tricky - if we kill li...Yes, the morals of this are tricky - if we kill like this, aren't we just sliding into the same moral abyss as those we kill, who would kill us for no other reason, sometimes, than that we don't believe what they do? On the other hand, those who we do kill in this way, would kill themselves - or encourage others to do on their behalf - anyway as part of the act of killing us; it is usually in the form of the suicide bomb, yes? But since we see - daily - how these same people kill not only the Westerners/infidels at the time of the bombing, but also their own nations' people, some of whom are completely innocent except for the crime of being, say, in the wrong marketplace at the wrong time, then in the balance, those extrajudicial and surveillance-based killings can be justified because they save lives in the long term. <br /><br />Justified until, that is, the targeted 'terrorists' are not the only casualties and US forces are killing innocents, just as their targets might do.<br /><br />Like Jim, I am also from Australia and your election has been getting front page coverage in news bulletins here, along with live broadcasts of all debates and now lots of coverage about your awful hurricane. We count ourselves lucky.Alexov54https://www.blogger.com/profile/13824145378199976259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-51646952633969594582012-10-30T16:53:40.543-05:002012-10-30T16:53:40.543-05:00I like it.

Romney turned in his humanity card a loooooooong time ago.<br /><br />Sorry also to immediately turn this comment thread immediately toward a debate about the election. Even here in Australia, seems we can't escape any remotely political discussion immediately reverting back to an Obama vs. Romney exercise.Jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-25303799050792554872012-10-30T11:44:35.097-05:002012-10-30T11:44:35.097-05:00Yeah, it is heartbreaking. Obama's human right...Yeah, it is heartbreaking. Obama's human rights record is abominable. I have been continually disappointed in his seeming abandonment of principle in general, especially with regard to gitmo. This is another disappointment.<br /><br />Even so, I would prefer him to remain in office in place of the ticking time-bomb that is Romney. At least I can't see Obama starting another 'actual' war.<br /><br />Also Romney's an unabashed sexist and homophobe. While I base my votes primarily off of policy stances, I feel that it has to be recognised what kind of moral character it represents for a person to hold the political views that he does. Romney's positions come from a position of cold, compassionless, unquestionable self-assuredness.Jimnoreply@blogger.com
