A war is justified if you're willing to send your son. If you're not willing to send your son, then how do you send someone else's?
Our strategy is one of preventing war by making it self-evident to our enemies that they're going to get their clocks cleaned if they start one.
If the president is going to use so much language of theology and the Bible, then let's use that language for a serious discussion about the war in Iraq. And that was never done.
Landmines are different from other conventional weapons. When a war is over, the landmines stay in the ground and continue to kill - for decades.
