Rick Warren Backs Assassination Of Foreign Leaders
He gives a religious blessing to murder:
Last night, on Fox News, Sean Hannity insisted that United States needs to "take out" Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Warren said he agreed. Hannity asked, "Am I advocating something dark, evil or something righteous?" Warren responded, "Well, actually, the Bible says that evil cannot be negotiated with. It has to just be stopped.... In fact, that is the legitimate role of government. The Bible says that God puts government on earth to punish evildoers. Not good-doers. Evildoers."
Comment from Patrick:
Rick should have told Sean that it's time he took a vow of silence so he might rethink his Bushite philosophy of world affairs.Proverbs 10:14
Wise people treasure knowledge, but the babbling of a fool invites disaster.If all evildoers should be assassinated, I'd say a couple of our own had better duck.
I don't think Sean Hannity or Rick Warren understand the real situation in Iran. Ahmadinejad is not in control of the country or the military in Iran. The top position belongs to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.
The fact that Ahmadinejad has said inflammatory things about Israel and the Holocaust is not a good reason to assassinate him. I've read that his popularity is fading in Iran, and that more moderate voices may prevail. Killing Ahmadinejad would only insure that moderates in Iran will lose influence and that the extremists will be more powerful. We should negotiate with Iranian leaders, using "carrot and a stick" diplomacy. If they will promise to be nice, we should reward them with trade deals, etc. We don't need another war.
