war justice people
Nonviolent action on behalf of justice is no automatic forumla with promise of success: but neither is war. After all, at least half of the people who go to war for some cause deemed worthy of it are defeated.
christian war doe
If the tradition which claims that war may be justified does not also admit that it could be unjustified, the affirmation is not morally serious. A Christian who prepares the case for a justified war without being equally prepared for hte negative case has not soberly weighted the prima facie presumption that any violence is wrong until the case for an exception has been made.

Nobody should claim that the war [in Iraq] is over. But certainly it can be said that the regime is finished.

I accept that climate change is a challenge, I accept the broad theory about global warming. I am sceptical about a lot of the more gloomy predictions.

If anything, it's helped in implementing this solution. We've had no incidents of that kind. I think that the huge majority of users come in here for credible reasons wanting to learn or do some type of research. This is targeted solely on people who want to come and do something other than research.
assets military readily
If any military assets are needed, they will be readily available.

I don't share the view that China and the U.S. need to reach some kind of strategic accommodation to carve up the Asia-Pacific region - that is an arrogant proposition and deeply insulting to other countries in the region, including Japan and potentially also India and Indonesia.
advantage almost anybody businesses entire exist impossible planning power program true
Businesses need almost exclusively year-to-year planning cycles. It would be impossible for anybody to take true advantage of any lower-cost power program if it didn't exist for the entire year.
