The definition of courage

There is this editorial for an US Catholic online newspaper that Pete reall likes, and I can see why. It comments on current issue without being particularly "religious" (that said, last I check the idea of doing good and moral and yadda yadda is still part of being a Catholic...). Although, the link that Pete sent over today just gave me a shock. It's about how for the Inauguration Day in US, the Irish news paper front story was this.

War has never been something I can comprehend. The fact that people are killing each other for peace is an absurd idea. And the fact that some people actually think war is a good thing? They can say all they want that it's serving their country, I'd like them to explain to me how killing children and civilian is serving the country.

And the fact that the country which claims to be "the leader of the world" voted for their president because he is pro war and killings.

And apperantly that is religious.

Which part of "love thy neighbour" don't you understand?
