We need to decide that we will not go to war, whatever reason is conjured up by the politicians or the media, because war in our time is always indiscriminate, a war against innocents, a war against children. War is terrorism, magnified a hundred times.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker urges people to refuse war in advance, whatever justifications politicians or media offer. The speaker argues modern war inevitably strikes civilians, including children, and equates war with terrorism on a vastly larger scale. It is a moral appeal to resist persuasion and to judge war by its victims.
