This book review...

has reminded me that most war-making is an outrageous crime against not only our "enemies" but also ourselves. War may be necessary rarely - such as in World War II. But most of the time it dehumanizes both the people who die in it, and those who wage it.

I warn you not to read these book reviews unless you are prepared to hear of enormous grief and suffering.

The New York Review of Books: On War

Peace is a moral value. God came to us in a manger as Prince of that moral value. We are called to uphold it.
