a "just war"?

"James Carroll's column appears regularly in the Globe."
http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/331/oped/This_war_is_not_just+.shtml

And it's published on the Editorial page
(http://www.boston.com/globe/editorials/).

Of course I made no claim that this column was the "voice of the Boston
Globe" -- those are your words, and, as usual, you zero in on something
insignificant, while ignoring the comment I made on the way you throw the
label "propaganda" around.  Do you consider Carroll's column "propaganda"?

Carroll's points remain valid -- and, also as usual, you choose not to
comment on the substance of what he wrote.  We simply don't have enough
information to judge whether or not this is a just war, i.e. a war that
meets the criteria of a doctrine first proposed by Augustine in the fourth
century and elaborated over the years in part to give some Christians a
measure of comfort when they ignore Jesus' teachings of non-violence.

"Morris"
>(again contrary to Murthy's request)

I expect Murthy will let me know when I transgress.  But thanks for caring,
Mom.

Again, as long as you continue to post warmongering propaganda, I'll
provide counterbalancing views.
If you'd like to see this forum free of this back-and-forth, stop posting
that crap, and let the Pynchon discussion, such as it is, continue without
reference to this war (although given the way Pynchon weaves geopolitics
into his fiction, why any serious reader would want to ignore it, I
couldn't say), except, perhaps, as the topic might legitimately emerge from
a discussion of P's works.
