God's Politics: An Interview With Jim Wallis: "Poverty could be the thing that calls us together across our political dividing lines. But you need political leaders who articulate that and say why this is connected to our faith, our humanity, and our security. The line [from my book] that draws a great response every single time is, �Unless we drain the swamp of injustice in which these mosquitoes of terrorism breed, we�ll never overcome terrorism.� Everybody knows that. Most Americans know that you can�t defeat terrorism by killing terrorists. So the president says, �My response to terrorism is to kill terrorists.� And John Kerry says, �Yup. And my response is to kill even more of them.� That was our debate. It�s politically foolish and spiritually bankrupt. "
