MethodistChurch:End This Needless Tragedy in Iraq

TheNation: It's one thing when former high-ranking members of your own Administration come out against your war. It's another thing when 2/3 of the country calls the invasion and occupation a mistake. But it's really something when your own church issues a statement urging you to pull out the troops now. Last wk, the United Methodist Church Board of Church and Society (the social action committee of the church that both Bush and Cheney belong to) resoundingly passed a resolution calling for w/ drawal w/ only 2 'no' votes and 1 abstention: "As people of faith, we raise our voice in protest against the tragedy of the unjust war in Iraq. 1000s of lives have been lost and 100s of billions of dollars wasted in a war the US initiated and should never have fought.... We grieve for all those whose lives have been lost or destroyed in this needless and avoidable tragedy." I'm half expecting to hear that church board members will be found drown in the holy water after this.
