Agape and Violence?

The first question Timothy Jackson asks himself in Chapter Three ("Christian Love and Political Violence") of his book The Priority of Love is the following: How, if at all, may agape combat unjustifiable forms of violence, especially political violence?  The second question he asks is: Does agape itself ever act violently?  These are both ancient religious ethical questions and ones that still preoccupy contemporary conversations.  I realize that they are both somewhat abstract, but I would like to see you respond to each and to do so as creatively and as thoughtfully as you can (hence why I only assigned one blogpost for HW tonight).  Please use AT LEAST TWO PARAGRAPHS OF ABOUT SEVEN SENTENCES to respond to this prompt.

Traditions, Theories, and Potential Responses to Rwanda

During the past week we've considered a number of different traditions of American Foreign Policy and three different approaches to international relations (Realism, Liberalism and the Just War Theory).  Which traditions do you identify with and why?  Please use your approach to justify how you believe the United States should have responded to the crisis in Rwanda.  Please complete your response in AT LEAST 10 THOUGHTFUL AND WELL-CONSTRUCTED SENTENCES.  Thanks and looking forward to reading.
