OK. Fair enough.

someone has got to take the high road and stop the religious rhetoric to justify blatant murder
The religious rhetoric is just cover for other motives. Acceptable cover, particularly on the Arab side. This being a secular society, nationalism is more reliable for these purposes.

But you ignore a crucial fact: September 11, 2001.

I have to believe that our higher power is getting sick of being used as an impetus for war
Um, somehow I find that VERY hard to believe. This sort of thing as been going on since at least the dawn of civilization, and this higher power hasn't even squeaked about it.
