I say that you laugh about our troops dying because you did. :banghead: Look at Post #50. I have relatives in the military, and some of them will be going to Iraq soon. I don’t find anything funny about our troops dying. :tsktsk:

“In order for a war to be just, three things are necessary. First, the authority of the sovereign… Secondly, a just cause… Thirdly … a rightful intention.”
-Saint Thomas Aquinas
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
-Ronald Reagan
“Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and, under a just God, cannot long retain it.”
-Abraham Lincoln

Or those who support terrorism and/or hate the United States.
His remarks about the “fan club” show his ego involvement with this – an ego involvement that has nothing to do with morality, and everything to do with his self-image.
His rationalization – “Do you honestly think that my posts affect the safety of American troops? I’m sure the insurgents log on to CA forums and print out my posts as pep talks every morning. BHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH!” can be restated more simply, “It’s okay for me to sin, if no one finds out about it.”

Until someone can provide incontrovertible proof that this is an unjust war, I will defer to the civil authorities, who have more information than I do and are charged with making such decisions. That is what I believe the CCC tells us all to do.

What is unjust about the war is the actions of the holier-than-thou, ego-involved, hate-America crowd who are working to prolong the war by giving the enemy leave to hope that the United States may collapse from within.

All you have to do is read the just war doctrine, use a little common sense.And it becomes crystal clear…this war is unjust…Even the Holy See said that an invasion would be unjust. Sooooo America is involved in an unjust war and should not be supported by those who claim to be a Christian.

I was laughing at sticks’ ignorant post, not at the deaths of our troops. I’ll make sure to use colors and a coloring book next time for you since your reading comprehinsion skills seem to be a little weak.

And just who exactly is this “holier-than-thou, ego-involved, hate-America crowd who are working to prolong the war by giving the enemy leave to hope that the United States may collapse from within” crowd you’re referring to?

There is peace on Earth, but there is not peace as the world understands peace. Jesus is our peace. The peace of Christ is not the absence of suffering and of hardship and of injustice. The peace of Christ works through these things. The Prince of Peace was brutally scourged, spat upon, smacked across the face, crowned with thorns, forced to bear a heavy cross and suffered horribly in crucifixion and public humiliation.
Nothing can triumph over the peace that is found in Christ. Not war, not tragedy, not illness, not even death itself.
Thank you Father for the restlessness. Let us always remember that we are a pilgrim people. This Earth is not our final home. Our destination is to be with you.

I honestly wish someone would tell me what part of the just war doctrine wasn’t met.

Careful, there Jay. You’re introducing logic to an emotionally-driven poster. You could cause his head to explode.http://forums.catholic-questions.org/images/icons/icon10.gif

The fact is… troops died. For whatever reason they died, whether just or unjust, they died. And that’s not funny, even if they did die for “free elections.” Death does not merit laughter.
FYI: I’ve scored perfect or near-perfect scores on the reading compehension part of my standardized tests. Plus, I was a Spelling Bee champ for six years straight.
What about I give you a copy of *Help for the Sakeholic *and we call it even?

, use a little common sense
.Your post about The U.S staying out of WW2 lacked common sense.Then you threw in some nonsense about if the world absorbed The Jews there would not have been a holocaust. Do you know there were six million “others” in those concentration camps? Poles, Slovaks, Gypsies, Jehovah Witnesses and other “undesirables”. Do you think what The Germans did to Poland was okay?
Sounds like you need a coloring book to learn your history.
