--- Quote from: SandyFla ---It could also be said that it was God's will to use the US the military to kill him, just as God used military force in the Old Testament to punish Israel or to use the Israelite army to destroy other groups of people. Not even the US military can go against God's will.

Thank you Sandy for sharing some common sense. :)
So far in this thread I have heard nothing but "war is wrong" or "such hypocrisy, "Bush this or Blair that" (quotes are mine)
However, is God a hypocrite? or is God wrong? Are we all not doing the will of God?
Sure, we are to love our enemies for hating is wrong. But are we not to love our loved ones stronger. Would anyone of us, willingly sacrifice our loved ones because we're so busy loving the person wanting to harm or kill them.
Abu al-Zarqawi, was doing just as God planned. Does this mean God loved him, that maybe he was one of the chosen few? I think not. I believe God blinded and deafened him within his own deceit, he was a murderer and his hatred towards millions of his brothers and sisters (God's children) was insane.
Love him, sure I love him in the fact that he was a living breathing being with a soul, wretched as it was. But that is not enough, not according to the scripture:
Eph 6:8
--- Quote ---Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether [he be] bond or free.
--- End quote ---
Surely preventing death and suffering (car bombings, roadside bombs, kidnappings) of innocent (Gods) bystanders is a good thing
Are we not commanded to put on armor and be prepared to fight for what is right. Right in God's eyes....
Eph 6:11
--- Quote ---Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
--- End quote ---
In my opinion (by his actions) Abu al-Zarqawi was being led by the devil, how many people did his death today, save in the future. I thank God for all the men and women of all nations who worked together to bring him down, for they were all doing God's will.
Becky:
hmmmm but the armor is spiritual.....right?
