Or are you just reading that into such events? Were the Nephites wicked for trying to destroy the Gadiantons? Or were they just not strong enough to accomplish it? Perhaps the Nephites were more righteous when they allowed the Gadiantons to grow in power among the Nephites? Let's not misquote the BoM on these things. The Gadiantons were a clear and present danger. The Nephites did all within their power to stop them. Just because they were unable, does not mean their efforts were wrong.
As for your claim that Bush is a Gadianton, just where is your proof? Saddam is heavily engaged in terrorist activities, even paying off the families of suicide bombers. Where do you see Bush actively killing civilians? Gadiantons have secret organizations of murder to get gain. Where is Bush' club? Yes, I know you are suspicious of the CFR and other groups, but I've yet to see conclusive evidence that they are for less liberty and more civilian annihilation. If you make such a claim, please back it up. Otherwise, you are spouting off things that are not right. It's on the same level as those who claim that Pres Hinckley has denied the First Vision and other Restoration events/doctrines, because he has brushed them off in some of his interviews. Does anyone wonder why he gave such a testimony of the First Vision and of Joseph Smith during General Conference? It was to assure the members that he knows these things occurred. We have no right to say evil things about a person, without strong evidence. GWBush is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. However, he has not ever shown himself to be an evil man, which is what a Gadianton is.

National defense is justified. National offense is not. --JWR ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
