Gawd, what an interesting book hers must be.

I used to listen to Christian talk radio, and the issues there frequently focus on human rights, especially in the Third World. So I knew all this about North Korea. Some of the visual images that have been conveyed to us over the airwaves are utterly sickening. I think if our leftie friends could ever hear these stories, they'd be about a hundred percent less likely to shriek "we have no right to invade" every time we go to war over human rights.

Oh, yeah, no war, ever, who cares, we stay spiritual

Couple of points here. One, they love to bash and criticize the U.S. with the attack that "we wouldn't get involved in WW1 or WW2 until millions had died at the hands of fascism, or naked aggression, or whatever comes to mind when they're doing the criticizing.

And then they'll turn around and say, "War never solved anything" because it's so Franciscan in its tone. Or if they've never heard St. Francis, they enjoy emulating Gandhi.

Two, it's usually thrown in Republicans' faces that they're hypocrites for pretending to be Christians and yet advocating wars of aggression everywhere. Because of course Christ was a pacifist and would tell all his followers never to lift a finger on our neighbor's behalf if someone tried to kill him.
