The Missing Measure of Our Outrage

“We are all, every last American, responsible for this messy war. We
must demand a new moral accountability from ourselves that transcends
self-interest. If we are truly principled, it shouldn’t matter whether
the death toll is 1 or 100,000, whether we know someone directly
affected by war or not. We must take the war personally simply by
virtue of being American, and even more radically, simply by virtue of
being human. And last but certainly not least, we must find a way to
move, to act, to affect change.”
