Rumsfeld, architect and overseer of the American doctrine of pre-emptive war, must be listening to a "war Lord" and not the Lord who is the Prince of Peace. My "good" Lord said,
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God." (Matt. 5:9)
"Put your sword back in its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword." (Matt. 26:52)

And in counterpoint:
He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. (Luke 22:36)
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace. (excepted from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)
