Don't cut Brownback any slack. He's doing this for purely political reasons. He's totally flip-flopped on this issue and it's becuase he thinks going against our President on Iraq is going to score him political points. It's disgusting.
Thanks for the explanation - that is disheartening, though. My bet is Brownback will do NOTHING in this Presidential contention.
I've noticed that, too.
Francis Pauc is a Catholic and is an example, unfortunately, of a lying pacifist.
He pretended in a recent letter to the editor, to have reluctantly come to the conclusion that we are losing and should leave Iraq, He said that the war is immoral.
A search on the internet showed he has been a pacifist for some time and was influenced in that direction by people he met while serving in Germany 20 years ago.
A PDF file of Francis Pauc's essay, "How a Military Man Became a Pacifist," can be downloaded from a link at the bottom of the web page Catholics for Peace and Justice.
This one isn't. Call the crusade!
