Iraqi glee at tragedy (G-d is avenging us>

I anticipated the same there and everywhere else post 911 parties were held. I've been surprised by the sparsity of original reports of such celebrations after Columbia. These same 2 Iraqis have been cited repeatedly, but I not seen reports of any bigger celebrations cited on FR. I don't interpret this to reflect their honest anti-American feelings, but rather to reflect their belief that W is coming soon and they don 't want to be singled out as targets. This is good. If the other side won't like and respect us it is more important that they respect us.

Sounds like you guys have issues with Christians (and perhaps with the creator as well). My little post will likely not cause you to consider what's going on in your hearts toward the Lord, but consider why you're reacting to an article about Iraqi responses to the disaster the way you are....

Not at all....just with idiotic statements by anyone, Christians included.

I have no trouble with Christians.

I take issue with those who use their beliefs to browbeat others in crisis for failing to know Christ or for not submitting to Allah (or reading the daily horoscope or you name it.)

Terrible, fatal disease happens to the young and innocent while corrupt, evil bubbas live long comfortable lives on golf courses all over the world. To suggest to those in crisis that their sins are the reason for their pain is simply fatuous and frankly, un-Christian.
