Review: Politics, Justice, and War | National Catholic Reporter

Review: Politics, Justice, and War | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: War is as much about economics and imbalances in economic power as it is about politics. In democracies, as in the question of capital punishment, all citizens fill the role of policy maker who decide on the justice of war.  If we were truly a Christian nation, our economics would make war obsolete. Remember this, however, the perspective should still be that of the king - whose obligation is the political and economic safety of the realm. That does not change when all are king and should  be the first principle of any such analysis.
