I think this point is made well, citing Jesus, the Prince of Peace, and the Just War Theory. I have found it ironic over the years to see Christians, including my parents, clamor for war. When I questioned the wisdom of going into Iraq, they were quite angry with me.
Jesus understood that our animal instincts make us crave a fight, and usually causes more problems than it solves. If we had left the middle east alone, we'd be trillions of dollars ahead, and thousands less would be dead or maimed for life. And we have accomplished nothing.
Statements like this might cost him a nomination, if he were to run, because so many like war, and the Military Industrial Complex (which Eisenhower warned us about) needs to be fed.
