We speak with Father John Dear, author of more than 20 books on peace
and justice and outspoken critic of the U.S.-led invasion and
occupation of Iraq about why 75 U.S. soldiers shouted "Kill! Kill!
Kill!" outside his front door. In a recent article on
CommonDreams.org, Father John Dear writes:

"I live in a tiny, remote, impoverished, three block long town in the
desert of northeastern New Mexico. Everyone in town--and the whole
state--knows that I am against the occupation of Iraq, that I have
called for the closing of Los Alamos, and that as a priest, I have
been preaching, like the Pope, against the bombing of
Baghdad.Suddenly, at 7 a.m., the [soldiers'] shouting got
dramatically louder. I looked out the front window of the house where
I live, next door to the church, and there they were--all 75 of them,
standing yards away from my front door, in the street right in front
of my house and our church, shouting and screaming to the top of their
lungs, "Kill! Kill! Kill!" Their commanders had planted them there and
were egging them on."

    * John Dear, is a Jesuit priest in Springer, New Mexico. He is
author of more than 20 books on peace and justice.
