In response to terror
In the aftermath of the United States military response to the car–bombing of American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania last August, New York’s John Cardinal O’Connor drew a distinction between ad hoc, after–the–fact moral judgments about such particular responses to terrorism and a serious national effort to add a moral dimension to policy...... >Read More
