Disciples of Christ: Iraq War Inconsistent With Jesus' Teachings

http://nccinterfaith.blogspot.com/2007/07/christian-church-disciples-of-christ.html
This church says that it would like to "go on record as conscientiously opposing the war in Iraq as an action inconsistent with the teachings and example of Jesus Christ, and a violation of the traditional standards of just war" and that "leaders of the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox Churches, the Episcopal Church, and mainline Protestant churches in the United States have expressed opposition to the Iraq War and our global church and ecumenical partners have issued statements on the war declaring it to be immoral and contrary to the principles of "Just War." Basically, war goes aginst the principles of Christian pacificity in general, but if there has to be the War in Iraq goes against the qualifications of a just war to begin with- it was preventative and not a last resort. I am not religious, and I was not entirely against the war but only in the sense that I believe Suddam did need to be ousted- however, we went in for selfish purposes and at the wrong time and went against our only form of international law by doing so as well. That being said, I do agree as a whole what the Church is saying and can definetely understand why many churches would condemn it. In fact, I am surprised that more Christian churches are against Bush and his war than there are simply for the religious reasons cited in this article.
