Sheboygan Press January 10, 2010 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."
