Questions

Why aren't Pro-Life groups- at the very least- asking serious questions about the war in Iraq?

Why isn't the war in Iraq- which is the greatest moral issue of our day- generating profound religious/moral discussion in our society, led by groups that claim to have moral issues as their reason for being?

How can anyone be wasting his/her time on what has to be a lower order moral issue like gay marriage when 100+ people a day are being killed in Iraq?

The absence of voices of dissent from groups that claim to represent moral concerns in America makes me feel as if those groups don't express moral concerns at all, but merely political ones ('get out the base'). True moral leadership would not be 'single-issue' oriented. A moral vision is a broad vision. Moral vision seems to be lacking right now in the US. That's why an immoral invasion and an immoral policy of torturing detainees are mere political issues for our nation, and not the questions of conscience that they should be.
