The discussion revolves around President George W. Bush's claims of divine guidance in his decision to invade Iraq, as reported by Palestinian ministers. Participants express skepticism about the authenticity of Bush's statements, debating whether he genuinely believes he communicates with God, uses this belief as a political tool, or is delusional. Many criticize the moral implications of claiming divine justification for military actions that resulted in significant civilian casualties, questioning how such actions align with the notion of ending tyranny. The conversation also touches on Bush's shifting stance on the Palestinian statehood issue, suggesting opportunism rather than genuine concern for peace. The dialogue reflects broader frustrations with Bush's presidency, including his handling of the Iraq war and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and highlights a perceived disconnect between his rhetoric and the realities on the ground. Overall, the thread conveys a deep disillusionment with Bush's leadership and the consequences of his policies in the Middle East.

Does your insurance company pay twice as much if you knowingly ended your life in a sudden and violent way? Does it even pay at all if you committed suicide?

I didn't ask. There was no clause on suicide, but probably that's considered an "illness" and not an "accident".

As I read through these posts, I can't help but feel that humans are animals, no more and no less. Animals contest, often violently, with one another for the control of territory and resources. Why are we so surprised when we do?

Because God doesn't tell people to go to war.

Can you source this interview of yours?

I love popping into 200 post threads, looking at post 1 and the last few posts and wonder "hmm... let's see how far off point A and point B are this time". Doesn't seem that bad so far.

Check your policy - insurance companies pay nothing (or next to nothing) in cases of suicide.

See, one more reason to be generous to those poor families of suicide bombers! They do not even get money from their insurance company :biggrin:
It has to arrive to you: you get married to what seems to be a nice, introvert guy, have a lot of kids, build a house... and then that nitwick goes and blows himself up in the middle of a crowded place ! Where do you go to get you out of misery ?
