China: Persecution of Life and Freedom

This article speaks for itself. LifeSiteNews.com is instrumental in keeping us up to speed on the horrors of the Culture of Death – this story though is beyond extreme and shows the dark and evil culture that pervades in China. What we saw on the Olympics a few years back was nothing but smoke, mirrors, and a facade built on the evil and corruption of a society blood thirsty for death and destruction.

From LifeSiteNews.com:
Seeking to enforce the one-child policy that involves forced abortions and sterilizations for violators, a Chinese family planning official has been accused of killing a man after attempting to uphold the law.

Reggie Littlejohn, the president of Women’s Rights Without Frontiers, a human rights group that monitors the policy and supports victims of it, informed LifeNews.com about the incident.

On March 21, family planning officials entered the home of Xu Shuaishuai to seize his sister for a forced sterilization. Unable to find her, they beat Xu’s father and when Xu defended his father from the attack, one of the Chinese population control officials stabbed him twice in the heart with a long knife. Xu died on the way to the hospital.

“This murder is a shocking and extreme example of how coercive family planning presses fear into the hearts of the Chinese people every day,” Littlejohn said. “Women who become pregnant without a birth permit — illegally pregnant — are terrified of discovery and forced abortion. Fathers feel helpless to protect their wives and children. Paid informants — friends, neighbors, co-workers — tear down trust in Chinese society. Family members are detained and tortured.”

Just War? The Korean Situation


Mindyleigh raises a rather interesting questions over at The Devout Life:
At each Mass, prayers have been expressed for peace between North and South Korea, but I keep raising an eyebrow. How about they NOT reconcile? How about South Korea goes in and takes out the dictatorship of North Korea and liberates its suffering people?!? Lord, hear our (okay, "my") prayer!

Human Rights in North Korea
Now, I don't want to say I haven't thought the same thing. I haven't actually analyzed this situation under "Just War" analysis, but my off the cuff response is that she might be on to something. Do we really want reconciliation here? Sure some ultimate reconciliation where North Korea says, "We messed up, please come in and show us what freedom is like!" But apart from that, Ms. Mindy appears to be on to something.

Oh I know, I am just some war mongering neo-con.
