Somehow this doesn’t suprise me at all.
The World Is Mine
When despair for the world grows in me, and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be ... I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought or grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. - Wendell Berry

I think what disturbs me the most about this (because I agree that it is not all that surprising) is my own very visceral and violent reaction to the images. It’s been bothering me ever since I first saw them. It’s almost like in my rejection I’m allowing myself become (at least on a certain level) the very thing that I hate.

Using Isaiah 6.8, which is clearly about worship of God, to justify, support war? That is the weirdest case of prooftexting I’ve ever seen. Strange

Even as a pacifist, I think I am as disturbed by the fact Rumsfeld only OCCASSIONALLY saw the briefings than I am by the horrific abuse of scripture.
