Leonard Pitts is a bit edgy about the war, though he does recognize one key point:War, should it need to be said, is a terrible thing. It kills soldiers and children, innocents and innocence. It debases the human spirit.He's not sure, however, that the administration has told us enough to make this a settled matter. Let's hope Mr. Bush uses his State of the Union to that end.
However, contrary to what many of those who marched in Washington and elsewhere this month would argue, there are times when that horror is necessary, even moral. A nation has the right -- the obligation -- to defend itself from aggression. Were there clear and convincing evidence that we are at that point, we could consider this a settled matter.
