I understand - more to my point, though, was this: If our actions (as a military) were a part of the denial of anothers' right to free expression of faith, then, as a nation that prides itself on that free expression of faith, the right thing to do would be to rebuild that which we destroyed. To do otherwise risks branding our actions - legitimately or not - as wars on anothers' religious freedom.
Your post helped me clarify my original statement, for which I thank you, because I totally agree with the last part of your comment: I want no part of government sponsored religion.
