Refuting the myth that America's
socially conservative thinkers, journalists, and commentators tended to support
the war in Iraq, this book
incorporates the opinions of some of the leading figures in America's conservative movement on why the
decision to go to war and the continuing occupation of Iraq was and is the wrong course of
action.
Twenty-five articles by influential thinkers such as former
presidential candidate Pat Buchanan, syndicated columnists Sam Francis, Joseph
Sobran, Eric Margolis, and Charley Reese, leading economist Jude Wanniski,
social critics Tom Fleming and Paul Gottfried, and religious figures Bishop
John Michael Botean and the late Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani make the case
against the Iraqi conflict using conservative arguments on geopolitics,
Christian morality, and common sense. Four detailed appendices on the war
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church are also provided.
"The essays in these volumes, ranging from the best
minds of the liberal left to the great wisdom of the orthodox right, take on
the war in Iraq,
closely examining the ideas and motives of its planners, promoters and
defenders. Here is genuine intellectual diversity and hard analysis--fascinating
and required reading." --David Allen White, professor of English, U.S.
Naval Academy.
"This trenchant collection of articles about the U.S. war in the Middle East
is a fulfillment of my dearest wish: seeing the left-wing and the right-wing,
religious and nonreligious, Christian and Muslim opposition to the war united
in one front against one mutual enemy. It will be the cornerstone of every
future realignment of antiwar forces in the U.S." --Israel Adam Shamir,
journalist and author, Flowers of Galilee.
"At last, a truly universal critique on the war
in Iraq."
--Anthony Cappello, researcher, Victoria University, Australia; director,
Freedom Publishing; national secretary, Thomas More Centre.
With a foreword by Bishop Hilarion Capucci, and contributions from Rev. Juan Carlos Iscara, SSPX, Professor John Rao, Dr. Robert Hickson, Paul Likoudis, Dr.Peter Chojnowski, and Professor Romano Amerio.
