A most excellent post over at The Mundane Life of Thunder Jones: On Still Not Getting It

I think the reason is that the Bush administration prefers not to view their opponents as fellow humans who are capable of reason, discourse, and peaceful coexistence. It makes slaughter a more sensible option.

By refusing conversation, the Bush administration is continuing the horrific strategy of the Truman adminstration and requiring complete surrender (or in this case annihilation). We know how Truman got his complete surrender. His bomb killed 140,000+ people (for those keeping score, that’s 50x the death toll of 9/11). What will Bush’s victory cost in human lives? We know that 4 al Qaeda leaders are worth the deaths of 13 women and children

On that last note, I heard a news header at the top of the news: The Bombing in Pakistan now being called a WIN for the war on terror. Yeah. A Win. That’s all that matters. Right. “That’s war”.

It’s just not Jesus.
