Brilliant, thank you so much. I have been anti-war as a Christian for so long that I stopped looking at why; it's been at least fifty years now. Also, I never felt it necessary to develop in-depth arguments for my stance because the truth of the matter looked so abundantly obvious, so extraordinarily simple and straightforward that if anyone did not see this truth, nothing could convince him or her. After reading your piece, I see how blind I was and wrong not to make a more concerted effort to bring understanding. Spiritual pride, although that may have come later after years of being battered for my belief in non-violence. I give up and settled on being "superior": funny and very sad.  So thank very much for helping me to see as well this sin in myself.  If it doesn't make me a better spokesperson, it has already made me a little wiser.
