It is getting to the point of obsession, isn't it? I'm one of those who can see that issue from both sides. If they continue to write about it for the rest of the year, then it is something to be concerned about.

Me too. I was certainly conflicted during the run-up to the Iraq War, but what's done is done. As JP II said, we should be concentrating on rebuilding Iraq now, not refusing to help because we don't like how the current circumstances came about. What NOR does on the Iraq war is destructive criticism which is never a good thing, IMHO.

On this matter, NOR is like a petulant little kid who constantly brings up an old perceived injury any time it's even tangentially relevant to the conversation. And we all know how annoying that can get...

Maybe they share philosophical views with TCR?

Dear Friends (and Foes) of TCR:

Well, we're getting a little feisty over at TCR. What with the news that Mr. Bush may soon be arming the heavens themselves (Does Babel come to mind?) and estimates of 50 -100,000 dead in Iraq and counting, it's getting more difficult to ignore the (Lord, help me to say it) Catholic warmongers (an oxymoron)---America Firsters!---- at some of the driveling sites which have been taking sniper shots at us for years with little or no response.

But ironically we are always grateful for their publicity since every kidney punch makes people want to come over to TCR and see what we're all about. And some volunteer to become Simons and help us carry the cross.

While there is a war on, we will not ignore the war. We will, rather, continually urge diplomatic solutions to international problems and tensions, even as we press ALL the prolife issues of our late, beloved Pope, JPII and the man who has begun his beatification, Benedict XVI.

So, if you see the gloves on from time to time, please know that, as Daddy says to Johnny, this will hurt us more than it will hurt them as we administer the corrective blows. There is something worse than hard criticism, and that is indifference to human suffering. All over the globe now people are hurting terribly, and in ways untinkable to us in our cozy western homes.

Yet even here over 40 million people will die prematurely because the corporations will not allow their PR man---the President---to loosen up the money being spent of weapons of mass destruction for health care and housing, to say nothing of the destruction of the environment, God's very creation.
