If I live next door to you, I might find your habits and characteristics interesting or repulsive, but they are actually none of my business and I have no right to try to change them. You could be an absolute slob and that might be totally opposed to my way of life, but unless you ask me to help you, I should just mind my own business. Similarly, a country or a religion may be totally different from my own, but it is not my country’s or my religion’s business to change it. For centuries countries have taken over other countries because they felt their government, religion, or ruler was better. Religions have tried to convince the members of other religions that their religion was wrong.Today, Christian nations feel that women have rights that Muslim nations do not feel they have. Christian nations feel their laws and freedoms are superior and other nations should feel the same way they do. Christians feel that they are right and Muslims feel they are right. But Christian nations have no right to force their beliefs upon Muslims and visa versa. If Islamic nations want to deny freedom to their citizens that is their prerogative and none of America’s concern.
So why is George Bush trying to tell the Muslim nation of Iraq that their beliefs are wrong? Bush is an imperialist trying to use the strength of the United States to force his Christian religious beliefs upon a weaker nation. He used the excuse that he wanted to destroy Iraq’s WMD’s to take over the country but all he wanted was to further his religious beliefs. America must just mind its own business and let the rest of the world mind theirs. Bush has caused a religious war and should be punished accordingly.
