I could never understand how we could put 120,000 Japanese behind a fence in World War II. I remember being bewildered about that.
Mr. Reagan spent World War II, the global conflict fought and won by his generation, making training films in Hollywood.
World War I was not inevitable, as many historians say. It could have been avoided, and it was a diplomatically botched negotiation.
The world has already been saved from war. The question is how Christians can and should live in a world of war as a people who believe that war has been abolished.
