CNN Poll Needs FREEPing! Is this a moral war?

"If your opponent has a conscience, then follow Gandhi and non-violence. But if your enemy has no conscience like Hitler, then follow Bonhoeffer"
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a German university professor with a doctorate in theology, a Lutheran pastor, a participant in the early ecumenical movement, a prolific writer, and a central figure in the Protestant church struggle against Nazism. His participation in the plots to assassinate Adolf Hitler led to his arrest, imprisonment, and eventual death by hanging at Flossenburg concentration camp in 1945, at the age of 39.

Only after the war, as his work was disseminated around the world by Bonhoeffer's friend and biographer Eberhard Bethge, did the fresh pertinence of his ideas become clear. Though forged in the crucible of his struggle against Nazism, Bonhoeffer's striking notions of "religionless Christianity," costly grace, and direct religious engagement with political forces -- along with his own martyrdom -- have spoken directly to the situations of contemporary Christians.
