Eric Sammons Figured It Out!

The editor-in-chief of Crisis finally arrived at the obvious conclusion:  war is not good for humans.

Bear in mind that Sammons is a staunch and noisy pro-lifer.  But in a national election following Dobbs, the really big question is war.  Abortion is a state decision; war is not.

...During my lifetime the United States has been involved in countless overseas conflicts, from outright wars to small-scale military operations. Vietnam War, two Iraq Wars, the occupation of Afghanistan, conflicts in Libya, Bosnia, Somalia, Syria, Yemen: the list goes on and on. In not a single one could America’s involvement be justified under Catholic Just War Theory.

We’ve also been heavily involved in provoking many more conflicts and engaging in proxy wars, most notably the current Russia-Ukraine war. Our neocon foreign policy has been a disaster for decades and has led to untold suffering and death, along with increased ill will and outright hatred for America around the world (thus creating the foundation for future conflicts)....

He has a very good insight on this:

 ...We often talk about the invisibility of the unborn, and how the fact that we can’t see the victim is a major reason abortion is accepted by so many.

The same is true for these foreign conflicts. Even though millions have been killed in conflicts involving the United States, and millions more have been horribly injured or had their lives otherwise devastated, we don’t see them. The dead Ukrainian or dead Yemeni or dead Palestinian are mostly invisible to the average American....

Now the US has moved several ships into the Middle East.  They're not there for the tourist attractions.

Think when you vote.
