Actually, according to Rev. Wright's "Black Liberation" theology, since 
many of those killed in Iraq were white, they weren't cherished at all. 
In fact, Rev. Wright's theology requires that he rejoice in those deaths 
and if god isn't rejoicing along with him, then he needs to reject god 
as well.
