"comments?"
Two things. First, +Philip is a Syrian (in the old sense of the word). His people are the ones under the bombs. One shouldn't be surprised that he's angry. In other words, take it whence it comes. And second, for better or for worse, remember that in Orthodoxy, there's no such thing as a "just war" doctrine.
To what K responds, I would add a couple more comments. The seat of the Patriarch of Antioch is in Damascus, Syria, and there are many Orthodox Christians in Syria. A priest who is a father of two of our parishioners is there right now visiting family in Syria.
There is always great fear of violence by Muslims against Christians in Lebanon (where most of the Orthodox Christians in the region are) but more importantly in Syria itself. So it would be unwise for Met. Philip to do anything but be in opposition to this war if he wants to help protect his fellow Orthodox Christians from the ever-present threat of Muslim violence.
That said, these local interests aside, as K says, there is no such thing as a just war doctrine in Orthodoxy. All war is wrong. That doesn't mean that the "kings of the earth," even Christian kings, don't have to do what they have to do -- because the world is a messy place.
"The kings of the earth" have a responsibility to protect their people and keep them safe. Sometimes that means that they have to do wrongs to protect them from wrongs. That doesn't make it right -- it's just the reality of a broken world.
So with that in mind, it is wise for us as Americans to make sure that we are wearing our sensible, political, what-do-we-need-to-do-to-protect-our-families hats when we talk about these things. Not our religious hats. If one thinks that having Israel strike Lebanon is in the best interest of protecting our homes and families, then it makes sense that one would be politically supportive of it. I myself have no opinion becaues it would be based on nothing -- I know too much about the Middle East and the Balkans, and I know that rhetoric is pretty extreme, and when passions are high, truth is sometimes held captive to exaggeration and emotion.
It's *very* difficult to know the truth in any political/war situation, and almost impossible to know the truth of what's going on in that part of the world, even for those who are there on the ground.
