Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore we must be saved by faith. Reinhold Niebuhr
I think that sums up exactly the situation in Iraq. I have faith in God and America.
Why do you believe that Iraq must become true and make complete sense in the immediate context of history?
Hey, Rick: here is a quote from Reinnhold Niebuhr:

I'm really glad Chookter said this. It's what I mean by "un-American"--I will argue again and again, and gladly, that to base our politics in the faith that everything will somehow just work out well in the end because of WHO WE ARE instead of WHAT WE DO. It is an absolute abrogation of the republic (small-r) principle of self-government.
Who's with Chookter?
