But not Himself. Besides, isn't it all God's plan? If a person kills another, it is because God wanted it to happen? If you agree, join me in the Religion forum on the subject. It could get annoyingly religious here.
That's why I changed the subject to WMD's. It'll stir the thread up in other ways pretty quickly.
Suicide bombing was probably invented by a Christian, and has been used across religions (some just more prone to chickening out of it and go for bombing and shooting instead).

I do believe God is sovereign, yes. Nothing happens without him allowing it to happen.
But having said that, he did advocate his disciples defending themselves.

Well, such "Christians" should start complaining. The suicide bombers are just doing God's work. So, there is a common ground between them and those complaining about them: God.

Isn't suicide frowned upon by at least some branches of Christianity?

not quite. God does allow evil, but he does not ordain it.
Fair question. Some might not commit violence in the name of religion, but would do nothing to stop others from doing so. Nor would they condemn others within the religion that used violence in it's name.
The Bush White Houseclaimed Hussein had WMD's and that he constituted an imminent threat. The UN, in an after-9/11 daze, agreed to anything Colin Powell wanted. This was back in the day, when the world still kinda liked the US.
Accounting for and surrendering all chemical weapons was a condition of the 1991 cease fire agreement he violated over and over, so it's not like Bush needed a special reason to go back in. We promised to not invade in 1991, but that was a conditional promise. Got it?
