Jan, I took a look at the link. I agree in the use of the sword in self defense. The problem is we are miles apart in how we see what Obama did. I see his actions as self defense on our behalf. I mean Osama has had ten years to turn himself in and explain or repent for his actions. Osama was in the middle of planning terrorist attacks on trains in the US.
The episode of Christ and Peter drawing the sword has no link to the states God given responsability to use the sword to protect it's people. Christ came to die for us, of course He wouldn't have Peter prevent it nor would He call down the angels
I do believe that if Osama had put up his hands in surrender when they came into that room he would still be alive. He should have learned from Sadam. He was smart enough to raise his hand before he crawled out of his rat hole. That gave him a bit more time living so that his own countrymen could hang him.
Just saw on CBC that Canada's la belle province (Quebec) has passed a resolution in it's legislature about the death of Osama. It's a watered down version making it more acceptable to the social lefty separitists, but it passed. Sometimes the polititians in la belle province impress me, not often though.
