Here is a map that shows where American military and civilian individuals have died in Iraq since the beginning of the US led occupation.

It shows the real impact that this war is having.

How can the man (George W. Bush) who institued this war call himself a Christian and follower of Just War theory?

Peace:
In Hebrew שלום means totality, wholeness, well-being, prosperity, and freedom from violence or misfortune. It was central in the Old Testament (Tanakh) and was expected to be a dominant characteristic of the kingdom established by the Messiah.

In the New Testament:
1. It was the work of John the Baptist to prepare for this peace Luke 1: 79
2. The birth of Jesus was the beginning of peace Luke 2:14
3. Jesus hailed as the bringer of peace Luke 19: 38
4. Peace is the greeting of the risen Jesus John 20: 19-26
5. The message of Jesus is a "gospel of peace" Acts 10:36 and Ephesians 6:15
6. God is the God of peace Romans 15:33; 16:20; I Corinthians 14:33; Philemon 4:9; Hebrews 13:20.
7. Peace should mark the Christian life Ephesians 4:3; 2 Timothy 2:22-23; James 3:16-18
