Here's mine (I kind of mentioned this when the thread started anyway):

I like America. I like the American people. Their optimism for the future and their national pride are something I wish there was more of in this country.
I am a Christian. My understanding of the New Testament absolutely forbids me to take part in, or condone, death and violence of any kind; I am a man of peace, just as my Lord is.
I recognise that the New Testament comments widely on secular politics - starting with Jesus' own words, 'those who live by the sword, die by the sword.'
The whole business of conflict sickens me. But as the people engaged in it have chosen that path, I offer an opinion upon it, attempting to gauge 'right' and 'wrong' from within that world view.
