No enduring peace, no security, and no reconciliation is even possible without the foundation of justice. Justice requires mercy and is always nonviolent.
"In the long run, there is no justice without FREEDOM. There can be no human rights without LIBERTY. All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know the United States will not ignore your oppression or excuse your oppressors. When you stand for liberty, we stand with you."-President George W. Bush, Second Inaugural Address
"It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. It isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it."-Eleanor Roosevelt
By standing on the side of justice, we open ourselves up to the hard work of peace, and working for peace is what Christ promised makes one a child of God.
