Hatred on the rise

The behavior of many Islamic extremists is very similar in nature to the behavior of the men in that army under the biblical character Moses. Those men slaughtered others thinking God was behind them; see Numbers in the old testament, chapter 31: 16,17. Is the war against terrorism a war against ancient ways and thinking? Is there a significant difference between the modern prosecution of a war and the ancient? Did George W. Bush think God was behind him when he gave the okay to invade Iraq? If war is about acts of hatred, would any supreme being be the driving force behind it, if all opposing sides hated each other? By attacking Iraq, did the US positioned itself to fight against hate or spread more. With the volume of insanity in the present events turned up with more violence, is the world on the fast track toward destruction? Should we all be asking ourselves the above questions, or have we become too complacent?
