NP? religion and War

[Elainemmbell at aol.com]

Many thanks for directing attention to the McGovern piece.  I wrote the 
editors an immediate thank you as well:

Thank you so much for daring to publish George McGovern's beautifully 
reasoned and elegantly phrased essay of sorrow about the Iraq war.  After 
more than 30 years of wondering about it, I still fail to understand why 
people of Mr. McGovern's calibre are relegated to the sidelines of 
statesmanship where they are allowed only to watch and (by some enlightened 
publications)comment on the arrogant blunders of a parade of Presidents 
unworthy of the moral duties of the office, rather than themselves fulfill 
those duties.

I am proud to note that I lived and voted in Massachusetts when George 
McGovern won that one Commonwealth's wholehearted support for the Presidency 
he sadly never will assume.  George W. Bush, among others I need not name, 
should be ashamed to stand in the place where a better man was never allowed.
