Joan Chittister is a relatively famous Benedictine nun. She is now relatively old (like me) but nevertheless continues to see the world in ways that I can identify with.
In a recent article, she contrasts the administrations pre-emptive war with a pre-emptive peace approach. Enlightened to a great extent by her conversations with Europeans, she sees the need for America to emphasize diplomacy within the world community (United Nations). We have to move away from trying to create an empire through military might! We have to move towards dialogue even with those who may well be enemies. We have to see opportunities for peace wherever possible.
