Wait, you want us to talk about larger Biblical principles but Christ's actions and teachings would be irrelevant to the discussion?

No. I'm just saying we have to remember that Jesus IS GOD incarnate.
We need to balance the teachings of Jesus with the OT to get the whole picture.

We have the flower people who think that Jesus is all about forgiveness and being nice to everybody....but this is an idiotic application of the Bible when it comes to dealing with murdering dictators and enemies of America.

When God commands America to smite its enemies, I will lend your theory more credence.

Let's try this one on for size: Jesus was not some hippy that was all about being nice *AND* there is nothing in the New Testament that talks about advancing American foreign policy.
