"...we got further and further from Jesus' vision, which extends beyond our rational love and the boundaries we have established. There is no doubt that we must mourn thouse lives lost on September 11th. We must mourn the lives of the soldiers. But with the same passion and outrage, we must mourn the lives of every Iraqi who is lost. They are just as precious, no more, no less. In our rebirth, every life lost in Iraq is just as tragic as a life lost in New York or D.C. And the lives of the thrity thousand children who die of starvation each day is like six Sptember 11ths every single day, a silent tsunami that happens every week."
