Unprovoked, the noble sport of war becomes the murder of the innocent. Thoughtful (and disturbing) piece. Thanks, --fl

Bully for Bill Moyers. He articulates the anti-war argument clearly and with precision. There is no assumption that Bush is stupid, ill-informed, war-monger, doing a favour for his oil buddies, payback for the attempt on his father's life or finishing the undone job. Moyers does not preach that the people making this decision are morally bankrupt. He simply argues that they are wrong because the price of war is too high. His is being principled and speaking with an authentic voice. He is being inspiring. The only thing missing is owning up to the cost on inaction. What about the mother's who lose children in the next attack on American soil. Is he willing to pay tha price for his principals. I think the answer is yes but I wish he had the courage to say. Unprovoked, the noble sport of war becomes the murder of the innocent. I wonder, does he understand that many people honestly believe that the US was provoked. Paul
