(ABP) -- For those who care about the current state of American democracy, last week was both fascinating and deeply troubling.

(ABP) -- Thousands of Haitians were dead, millions were displaced, and Pat Robertson responded last week by saying, “Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon III, or whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil.

(ABP) -- I have decided that it is not my place as one offering Christian moral witness to endorse any nation’s wars, including my own. This is a change for me. In previous times I have weighed in either for (Afghanistan, 2001), or against (Iraq, 2003) America’s decisions to go to war. But I have concluded that for me, joining the nation’s punditocracy in evaluating the nation’s wars within the framework of the nation’s interests, even if layered over with some just-war theory, manifests a confusion of loyalties and calling.
