Does this sign describe Obama?

This was taken from a thread in Christianity and Apologetics. I'm posting the sign again in the Politics subforum because I want this one to be about Obama rather than Jesus.

Question for debate:

Does the protester characterize Jesus accurately or inaccurately?

Question for debate:

How well does that sign describe Obama?

What invading armies?
The U.S. Army in Iraq is one recent example. The U.S. Army in Afghanistan is another. Winepusher and I evidently agree that it is unrealistic to expect the population to respond with pacifism.

Note that I am not referring to any justification for such invasions - merely that they happened. In one case, it was to enforce regime change; in the other, it was in response to an attack carried out by rogue actors, primarily Saudis. In either case, fierce resistance should be expected.

The sentence I responded to suggests Americans (or westerners) who respond as pacifists to invading armies ...

It does not refer to the U.S. army.

So again I must ask, what invading armies is that post referring to?
