It has to make you love them even more. After all there is hope for everyone. A slove ship captain wrote the song "amazing grace." Story has it he turned the ship around! Since you mention the new testament, Jesus sought disciples from tax collectors. There is that one guy (Saul, Paul)? who is on the road to kill Jesus and then the scales fall from his eyes. He travels through misery and mishap and then gets the chance to bring the gospel to the Romans. Jesus also says a house divided cannot stand, so you can't both want peace and want to kill these guys. Although I do know how you feel. Ted

It is about oil after all, and not about terrorism. it si about gettign rid of Saddam and getting the oil. USA has already stated it will be 'administrating' Iraq once it is over, and NOT the UN. They ahev already takren steps to secure the oil wells. Blair looks a right prat now. And will we profit from it? No. The contracts have already gone to USA companies. And our Chancellor has just given 3 bn pounds for the war effort.
