About: Cause
"On a 60-mile stretch of road from Mutlaa, Kuwait, to Basra, Iraq, a convoy of more than 2,000 vehicles and tens of thousands of Iraqi soldiers and civilians were fleeing. These were people who were putting up no resistance, many with no weapons, leaving in cars, trucks, carts, and on foot. The American armed forces bombed one end
of the main highway from Kuwait City to Basra, sealing it off and
then bombed the other end of the highway, sealing it off. They
positioned mechanized artillery units on the hill overlooking the
area and then, both from the air and the land, massacred every living
thing on the road. Fighter bombers, helicopter gunships, and armored
battalions poured merciless firepower on those trapped in the traffic
jams, backed up as much as 20 miles. One U.S. pilot reportedly
said, It was like shooting fish in a barrel. That fateful stretch
of road has since been dubbed the Highway of Death.
In a report submitted to the Commission of Inquiry for the
International War Crimes Tribunal, charges are made that those killed
were Palestinian and Kuwaiti civilians trying to escape the siege of
Kuwait City and the return of Kuwaiti armed forces. The report claims
that no attempt was made by U.S. military command to distinguish
between military personnel and civilians.

About: Censure
"Take her, fair son, and from her blood raise up
Issue to me, that the contending kingdoms
Of France and England, whose very shores look pale
With envy of each other's happiness,
May cease their hatred, and this dear conjunction
Plant neighborhood and Christian-like accord
In their sweet bosoms, that never war advance
His bleeding sword 'twixt England and fair France."
Author: William Shakespeare
About: Christianity
"More than any other religion or, indeed, than any other element in human experience, Christianity has made for the intellectual advance of man in reducing languages to writing, creating literatures, promoting education from primary grades through institutions of university level, and stimulating the human mind and spirit to fresh explorations into the unknown. It has been the largest single factor in combating, on a world-wide scale, such ancient foes of man as war, famine, and the exploitation of one race by another. More than any other religion, it has made for the dignity of human personality. This it has done by a power inherent within it of lifting lives from selfishness, spiritual mediocrity, and moral defeat and disintegration, to unselfish achievement and contagious moral and spiritual power and by the high value which it set upon every human soul through the possibilities which it held out of endless growth in fellowship with the eternal God."
Author: Kenneth Scott Latourette
About: Christianity
"Feast of Josephine Butler, Social Reformer, 1906 Commemoration of Apolo Kivebulaya, Priest, Evangelist, 1933 [Christ] tells us plainly, and without any qualifications, that we are involved in a war in which there is no room for neutrals. Yet people attempt to evade His statement. Generally speaking, these are the very people who are the quickest in laying the blame upon God for all the sorrow and sin in the world. They argue that He could prevent it. They excuse their own do-nothing attitude by making of evil's apparent predominance a ground for doubt of His loving kindness. It never seems to occur to them to look for the cause in mankind."
