Rachel's one and only blog post about politics--this will not happen again:

 Why is it that of all the people in this country who are very vocal and articulate about abortion as a moral issue--people like Dawn Eden and all the Catholics--there seem to be none who are also worried about war and the environment as moral issues, too?

And it is just as bad when you look at people who I would say have a thoughtful and ethical view of these last two issues--people like Noam Chomsky and Wendell Berry--these thinkers say almost nothing about abortion as a moral problem. Where are the writers, bloggers, etc. (Christian or not!) who are concerned both about "creating a culture of life," AND ending imperialism? This is very frustrating to me right now.

Imperialism: a policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy and military force

What imperialism? We're gaining "power and influence" in Iraq? In Afghanistan? We're spending lots of money to be there in order to bring peace and stability to the region, if they'll take the ball and run with it. If not, we, and the Iraqis and Afghans, get zip, zero, nada.

Either way, I don't see that we're getting a lot of power and influence out of the deal, except maybe a check on terrorists who want to blow up people and buildings in our country.

Sorry, I had to say something.
