War with Iraq
Let me begin with a few random caveats. First, I don't know enough about the current situation to know what to think about the impending war with Iraq. In a way, I'm glad it's not up to me to make decisions of this magnitude. Second, while I would like to trust our US leaders, I believe they do a good job representing a people under judgement, and, as such, I do not ultimately trust them to make wise decisions. Hell, most of them think abortion-on-demand is a good thing. Finally, for what it's worth, most of my friends seem to at least moderately approve of waging war against Iraq, and my own plans to pursue military chaplaincy remain unchanged.
With all that said, I just read Christian Kim's comments on the matter. Much of what he says rings true with me. What do you think?
Christian is a former classmate of Joel Garver's, a current PhD candidate in Hebrew, Jewish, and early Christian studies at Cambridge, and the owner of christiankim.com. All that, and he doesn't even have a blog comment system.
