America's "predisposition to violence" The world may have avoided a conflict in Syria -- for now. But does America have a predisposition to violence? The man that Time magazine called "America's best theologian" says, 'yes'. Professor Stanley Hauerwas of Duke University's acclaimed Divinity School and author of War and the American Difference, says the Christian Right and the Secular Left have turned war into a religious sacrament. They both justify violence by turning war into a moral event. Professor Hauerwas discusses the ethics of war and pacifism with Andrew West. Should The UN Intervene In America's Gun Violence Crisis?
