Ladies and gentlemen of the forum,
There are always those editorialists that take one side or the other in a war. I have no qualms with anyone writing their position about any war.
But what is at hand here that I see, is not only the war, but {God and the war}. I feel that the poem has the potential to arrouse the thought that the blame for the war should be transfered to the jews, because of the reference to, [...Realize the divine is not quite what you think it might be. that old methods of imploring, say, a cantankerious bearded patriarchal figure to please, oh yes, smite your enemies might be a bit antiquated...],and, [..bogus Iraqi attack plan...],and,[...this is a time of war mongering and bitternesss...] and that is why I am asking that this poem in question be deleted. I feel that the potential is there for others to think that the author is referring to the God of the old testament, which is the God of the jews, and that the blame for the war should be transferred to the jews . There is much more to this conflict that has not been revealed. I have friends in Israel and I have received emails of picturs and videos, of things that can not be seen on television. Things that even Mr. Morford may not know. Things that I can not post here.
I do not consider the poem to have the content to be on the faith board, for it is ,to me, a poem more of a political nature and I am asking Dr. Hsiung to make some sort of administrative act to indicate that, for I consider the poem not to be supportive to faith in God
