Again, for the hawks, not everyone who doesn't blindly follow Bush is against war, like myself. I'm sure there are many who have been raising issues and concerns about the war who are NOT opposed to military action.
Remember that heavenly causes are always such in the eyes of the crusader. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Napoleon, they all probably thought that what they were doing was good. It's very dangerous to invoke words like "heavenly." Religion has often given people the justification to do terrible things through the claim that they have some kind of mandate, or that they're fated. Just because someone believes that God told them to do something doesn't make it right.

O' right so why don't we just let terrorist nations build themselves up to Nazi standards and kill us without real war. At least they will still be alive. Makes a lot of sense. What a bunch of ANTI American sentiment.

What does that even mean? You have a lot of disjointed comments there, but I think the jist of what you're saying is that if we don't do anything, they'll amass large amounts of weapons and then attack us while we're "sleeping?" Be careful of your use of the "anti-American" label. Your implication that just because someone may disagree makes them anti-American has a ring of McCarthy paranoia to it. Just because someone does not agree with you doesn't mean that they hate their country. Everyone has a different opinion about what is best and it is the debate and discourse that makes this country so great.

"War is always an atrocity. But sometimes it is needed, to put and end to GREATER atrocities."

This is true, but it's very 'ends justifying the means,' which can be dangerous in the wrong hands. Again, all wars are always justified by those who start them.
