ARTICLE: Furor erupts over Pat Robertson's call for assassination

"Robertson's pro-assassination comment was particularly troubling, Morgan said, because it seemed to endorse murder and contradict Christian teachings.
Any reasonable Christian ethicist probably lies awake at night wondering whatever possessed an individual like Pat Robertson to make the kind of comments he did, Morgan said. It defies reason.
Robertson's remarks are appalling to the point of disbelief, Bob Edgar, general secretary of the National Council of Churches USA, said in a statement issued in New York. The council is a liberal-leaning organization representing 35 Protestant and Orthodox Christian denominations around the country.
It defies logic that a clergyman could so casually dismiss thousands of years of Judeo-Christian law, including the commandment that we are not to kill, Edgar said." (The Virginian-Pilot - HamptonRoads.com/PilotOnline.com)"

Indeed! It is disturbing that US interest could be used so blatantly to justify immoral activity. The US already appears to the world to have gone over the line--though I still believe their acts are justified, both by truly international interests as well as the interests of justice and democracy for the nationals in the country they're in. Mr. Robertson, help the US stay the right course, not abuse it's position as the most powerful nation in the world.
