Promoting Liberty or Death?

We've been remarkably silent on the question of the war in Iraq.  Joan Chittister's National Catholic Reporter column this week, titled "What the rest of the world watched on Inauguration Day," contrasts the percentage of wartime casualties in World War I (15%) with that today (75%) and tells the horrific story of one family destroyed last week.  She ends with the questions: "Who or what will free us from the 2st century's new definition of bravery?  Who will free us from the notoin that killing children or their civilian parrents takes courage."  The entire column can be read here.
