Justin Soutar is a Roman Catholic freelance writer from Ohio. Since 2005 he has published twenty-five articles on pro-life issues, the Pope & his message, American politics and elections, terrorism, the Middle East, and other topics in a wide variety of Internet and print publications. I was born and raised a devout Catholic and a patriotic, conservative-leaning, Republican American. Early on I acquired a keen interest in politics. At age 10 I memorized parts of a 1996 presidential election debate between President Bill Clinton and Senator Bob Dole; attended a Republican rally in an airport hangar; passed out Dole campaign literature around my neighborhood; and created my own "Dole Kemp" sign for my bedroom window facing the street. More quietly, but with great hope, I rooted for Bush-Cheney in 2000. After the tragedy of September 11, 2001, I became a staunch advocate of the "War on Terrorism". The showdown between President Bush and Pope John Paul II over the war in Iraq led me to begin critical thinking and open-minded research about American foreign policy. Subsequent discoveries provoked me to begin writing in March 2005. Previously published articles include "Rescuing the 2008 Presidential Campaign" (Political Cortex, April 10, 2008); "The Peace Pope" (Inside the Vatican, June/July 2006, pp. 36-39); and "The Shadow of Death" (Hereditas, August 2005). My book on terrorism is expected to be released by Tate Publishing in late 2008.
