Responses to Violence in Biblical and Modern Times by Elie Wiesel

According to the Book of Judges, Gideon was appointed by God to lead his people through a war. He questioned his assignment by asking if his military task was truly moral. Professor Wiesel points out how this aspect of Gideon's story resonates with the dilemma that US and other world leaders were faced with when considering how to respond to the September 11 attacks. Professor Wiesel also argues that lack of peace brings people together and wonders whether peace is a blessing after all.
