War looms over Christmas this year

Thursday, Dec. 8, 2005 | 7:26 a.m.

Christmas is the day that Christians nationwide will go to church to celebrate the birth of Jesus, Prince of Peace, whose most inspirational sermon included the words "blessed are the peacemakers."

Yet, on his birthday this year, how many congregations will hear a voice from the pulpit asking if Jesus would ever sanction one country's unprovoked attack upon another?

Only a few voices, if any, will dare raise that question.

Why? A cloud looms over America and it's not a mushroom, either. It's the sinister cloud of hypocrisy.
