Anti-Climacus

Michael Novak (a Catholic I actually like) gets it right on NRO:
"It is wrong, inhuman, and unacceptable:

(1) to use the living human flesh of men and women as human bombs, who walk with apparent innocence among other human beings in the normal activities of human life, in order to blast them apart;

(2) to keep the poor and the needy in the misery of refugee camps, at the heart of the richest region on this planet, and to hold them there as political pawns and weapons; and

(3) to pour out on war and terror precious energies and talents that ought to be going into the building of an admirable civic and political order, and a vibrant commercial economy, able to energize a talented people with opportunity and expanding prosperity."
