Letters: Is the killing of Afghan children progress?
January 10, 2010 


As the old year came to an end, there was another report of the damage done in 
Afghanistan. NATO forces attacked a village in Kunar province.

Eight children between the ages of 12 and 14 are said to have been killed, 
their bodies torn to pieces by NATO shells. Obama is burned in effigy by the 
incensed villagers as mothers weep and fathers vow vengeance. This at a time 
when many of us sing our hymns of "peace on earth, good will towards men" and 
go on with our lives as usual.

As in Iraq, we are engaged in the brutal madness of a war that involves the 
killing of the innocent who are caught in our fire and in the teeth of our 
arrogance.

This is not the way to peace, as any school child can tell us. And it is 
certainly not "change we can believe in."

As the new year begins, we shall hear the politicians and militarists insist we 
are making "progress" But the more death we sew, the more violence we should 
expect in return as Obama's shameless war deepens and the costs continue to 
rise and we all become poorer for it.

We love to think of ourselves as a "Christian nation."

Albert Camus got it right: "What the world expects of Christians is that 
Christians should speak out, loud and clear; that they should voice their 
condemnation in such a way that never a doubt, never the slightest doubt, could 
arise in the heart of the simplest person; that they should ... confront the 
blood-stained face history has taken on today."
