I, too, have noticed that many pro-life people tend to be pro-war. The first casualty of war is the truth with the result that establishing its "justness" according to St. Augustine becomes very difficult. Those in power probably have a closer idea of the truth and they're not about to divulge it readily to the average the citizen if it's not in their interest. Instead, it dribbles out over the years and often we discover that we have supported a war that was not just at all.

It’s easy to be anti-war from the safety of your Western Civilization recliner. Until the war comes to you in the form of attacks by airplanes, hijacked by psychos who trained in a backwater country not being bombed by anyone, because that costs money and eventually lives. Peace doesn’t magically happen, and Nature (and criminals) will quickly fill a vacuum.
