Most of the blog posts that I churn out here are sparked by either books that I’ve read or discussions that I’ve been involved with in some way. This one that you’re reading now was sparked by both of these things – in this particular case the book was Ron Paul’s A Foreign Policy of Freedom. The discussions, such as they were, involved getting email in my inbox from people that I know that support the continuation of the war in Iraq and also wish, for reasons that are frankly unclear to me, to integrate their position regarding this war with the Christian worldview, and implying that I should do the same thing, and vote accordingly.
