A necessary evil?

Just to show that we’re fair and balanced here at VI, allow me to direct you to this post from Dave Paisley at Disaster Area. Mr. Paisley, in the course of a review of Jim Wallis’ God’s Politics, makes a pretty reasonable quasi-case for the Iraq war.

His conclusion?

I think merely that the war isn’t as bad an idea as Wallis thinks. It may not have been the best approach, but it may well succeed at changing the face of the Middle East.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement, and all the more compelling for that.
