Yes, it is a moral issue. You know my feelings about politics. There is no "other side of the world" anymore, or hadn't you noticed. Of course, it is probably easier to get to North Carolina from Baghdad than from where you live, but I digress. :-)
There is no obvious manner in which to equate the Nephite's situation to ours. It is probably easier (and far faster) for al Qaeda forces to traverse the miles from the other side of the world, than it was for the Lamanites to travel from their location to visit Captain Moroni. So, basically, I do not see your statement below as being valid. I see all of our actions and motives as being defensive in nature. Thus, for me, they are right and moral. Your opinion, of course, may vary. It is not a simple question, but I have seen no viable alternative from you on this matter, one that deals with all of the various issues. "Just stay home" doesn't cut it. "Wait until they nuke us, or use WoMM to kill at least 1,000,000 people" or some such is not acceptable to me, especially since I live in one of the top 100 attack areas. Note, however, that I would feel the same way if I did not. Your life is no less precious to me than are the lives of my family. Jon John W.
