From Deseret News archives:
No deity involved in this 'just war'
The butchery began. And it was aided, abetted and applauded by corporate killers. Even a number of religious bodies have dared to mock God by declaring this slaughter a just war. A just war, indeed. Hogwash.
Now, our choices are bleak. In fact, there is really but one choice. We can stop now. Or stop in one year, two years or, as Thomas Friedman now says, in 10 years. After which, he says, we will have built a new Iraq from the ground up. And one that will be safe, democratic, free. He's as wrong now as he has been from day one of this butchery, which he has favored from that day. With all his knowledge, he does not understand the fundamental instability of violence. Once we turn to violence, all bets are off. And no one is in charge. Only Karma. Utterly Darwinian. God is not in sight.
This has all been about oil. Oil does not exist under North Korea. It is in Iran. And Iraq. It seems God erred. God did not know that the Bush family and a few sheiks in Saudi Arabia, owned that oil. It was all supposed to be under Texas. Would that God could get the big picture.
