28. It's not just a fundie problem...
look at all the Catholics, Lutherans, and others whose churches have condemned this war but still support it. They seem to have as little concept of Just War as they do of the beatitudes. Except when convenient, it seems.

I am constantly amazed at the number of Quakers, who should be considering the Peace Testimony as one of the primary leadings of our faith, who don't seem to think this war, or most of the others we've been in, to be much of a problem. Not that many in numbers, but for there to be any at all is shocking. We don't even accept Just War. Or at least we're not supposed to.

It's a human problem, with our ability to disassociate our actions from our stated beliefs.
