This was the lead in today's SojoMail newsletter. It seemed especially
apt, considering the discussions we've been having around here lately,
and the use by some of the Catholic Church's definitions of "just war."
"There were not sufficient reasons to unleash a war against Iraq. To say
nothing of the fact that, given the new weapons that make possible
destructions that go beyond the combatant groups, today we should be
asking ourselves if it is still licit to admit the very existence of a
'just war.'"
- Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger,
now Pope Benedict XVI, May 2, 2003.
