Study war again
Christian Century, Nov 16, 2004
STUDY WAR AGAIN: Some 30 faculty members at the University of Chicago Divinity School have signed a statement that condemns the Bush administration's Iraq policies and in particular criticizes his use of religious rhetoric to defend the war. Noting that the president argues "that America's sole interest in Iraq is to establish freedom, thereby serving God's plan for humanity," the statement maintains that this claim veils the much more complex motives for the war, including "geopolitical calculations, desires for vengeance, military opportunism, and corporate interest (most notably greed for oil)....
To justify it as God's will, however, seems little short of sacrilege. As faculty members of the University of Chicago Divinity School, we deplore this attempt to wrap failed policies in religious rhetoric."
